IAF hits Hamas mortar crew

An Israeli air strike killed three members of a Palestinian mortar crew in the Gaza Strip.

A military aircraft fired a missile at Palestinians who had launched at least 20 mortar bombs across the Gaza border into Israel on Tuesday.

Three of the gunmen were killed, and Hamas claimed them as its own.

There were no Israeli casualties from the mortar shelling.
