Israeli airstrikes killed three Palestinians in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, raising the weekend death toll to 18, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that attacks will continue “as necessary.”
The Israeli air force fired on two squads of militants preparing to fire rockets today, the army said in an e-mailed statement. In the first strike, a member of the militant Popular Resistance Committees and a 13-year-old boy were killed, Gaza health official Adham Abu Selmeya told reporters. The second killed the watchman at an orange grove, he said. Palestinians fired at least 40 rockets into Israel, police said.
