Israeli airstrike kills 3 militants in north Gaza
(AP) – 4 hours ago
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — An Islamic militant group in the Gaza Strip says three of its members have been killed in an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza.
The Iranian-backed Islamic Jihad says the fighters were killed shortly after firing rockets into southern Israel. Israeli authorities say the rockets landed in open areas and caused no injuries.
The Israeli military is confirming it carried out an airstrike Tuesday, and Gaza's chief medical examiner also says there were three deaths.
Tensions have been high since Israeli naval commandos stormed a flotilla carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists to Gaza on Monday. Nine activists were killed.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Several thousand Gazans are making a furious rush to the Egyptian border, hoping to take advantage of a rare chance to escape the blockaded territory.
Egypt announced Tuesday it was temporarily opening the border, a day after an Israeli naval raid killed nine pro-Palestinian activists sailing to Gaza.
Cars with suitcases piled on their roofs are streaming to the border, while many others are lugging overstaffed bags on foot. Dozens of Hamas police with automatic weapons are patrolling the area to maintain order.
