TEL AVIV, August 20 (RIA Novosti) - The Israeli military said Monday it had carried out an air strike in the Gaza Strip, killing several Palestinian militants.
"There was a strike on a car with terrorists who fired on Israel today. We hit the target," an Israeli army official said.
Earlier, AP and Reuters cited Palestinian medics as saying at least three militants had been killed in the air strike.
A Palestinian medical official said six Palestinians had been killed.
Recent internal clashes between Palestinian political factions saw the Hamas radical movement take control of the Gaza Strip away from the president-led Fatah party, and left the West Bank in the hands of Fatah, which is backed by the West and Israel.
