Tags: Israel, Gaza, IAF 

An Israel Air Force strike early Tuesday on a mortar launching squad killed one Hamas gunman and wounded three others in northern Gaza, according Palestinian officials.

Gaza's ruling Hamas group confirmed that the men were members of the organization.

The IAF strike on the squad was near the town of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip, Gaza medics said.

The Israel Defense Forces said one of its aircraft targeted and hit a group of armed men near the Gaza-Israel border.

Gaza hospital officials said four gunmen arrived for treatment in the early hours of Tuesday and one died of his wounds.

Israel regularly carries out raids and airstrikes aimed at halting ongoing rocket fire from Gaza at Israeli towns. Egypt has been trying to broker a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, but the efforts have not yielded results so far.
