An Israeli air strike killed four Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip. Monday’s attack destroyed a car carrying four members of Islamic Jihad in Gaza City. Islamic Jihad described the dead as a rocket crew on its way to fire into Israel. Israel has stepped up its air strikes as part of a Cabinet decision Sunday on combating cross-border rocket salvoes from Gaza.

Another Palestinian was killed in a separate Israeli bombing of a metal foundry in Gaza. Military officials said the premises were used to manufacture rockets.
