The Israeli army has fired a missile at a group of Hamas militants who had launched mortars at a Jewish settlement in the southern Gaza Strip.
One of the gunmen was critically wounded by the missile, which Palestinian officials say was launched from an unmanned drone hovering about the Gush Katif Jewish settlement bloc.
An army spokesman says the army targeted a cell of two Palestinians in order to stop them from launching further mortars attacks.
It was the first time the Israeli military had fired missiles at Palestinian militants since a de facto truce was declared in February.
Early today [Wednesday], Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip shot dead a Hamas gunman near the Egyptian border.
The armed wing of Hamas, the Al Qassam brigades, carried out an attack in retaliation for the killing of the 25-year-old Hamas member.
