An Israeli air strike killed four Hamas members and injured two others in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday. An Israeli army spokeswoman said an Israeli aircraft had fired a missile at a group of Palestinians spotted approaching Israel's border fence with the coastal territory. She said the Palestinians had planned to launch rockets into Israel.

 

Two other Palestinians, including a Hamas activist and a civilian, were killed in separate Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the Palestinian group said.
