GAZA: Three Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrike on a car in Gaza

A missile fired from an Israeli aircraft hit a car in the Gaza Strip before dawn on Sunday (May 20), killing three people, local residents and medical staff said. An Israeli army spokesman confirmed a strike had taken place on a vehicle belonging to Hamas militants and said the size of the explosion confirmed the vehicle was full of munitions. Residents said that a second air strike aimed at a metal workshop in the northern part of the coastal territory destroyed the target and that nobody was injured. The army spokesman confirmed the second strike was on a metal workshop in the town of Beit Lahiya. The two latest air strikes follow a series of attacks from Israeli aircraft which began on Wednesday. Four Palestinians were killed in air strikes on Saturday. Which came on a day when more than a dozen rockets were fired into Israel by Palestinian militants. Nobody was hurt in Israel by the missiles, although they caused some damage in towns bordering the Gaza Strip.
