An Israeli military spokesman said its air force "targeted, identified and hit three terrorists on their way to launch rockets into southern Israel".

Medical workers in Gaza confirmed that an Israeli air strike in the Hamas-controlled territory killed three Palestinians.

The Islamic Jihad militant group has confirmed members of the group were killed near the Jabalya refugee camp.
