Airstrike kills 1, injures 2 in the Gaza Strip

An Israeli airstrike killed one person in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday as the coastal enclave marked the third anniversary of the Gaza war. Abdallah Telbani died and two other Palestinians were wounded by a blast that ripped through a tuk-tuk, or motorised rickshaw, in Gaza City, hospital officials said. They said Telbani was linked to Islamist militants sworn to fighting Israel, and who have at times chafed against Hamas ceasefire efforts. A Hamas official said the tuk-tuk was attacked from the air. In Jerusalem, an Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed the strike, saying: "A squad affiliate with recent terrorist activity was targeted in the Gaza Strip." She did not elaborate. Palestinians fired two short-range rockets into Israel on Sunday and Monday, causing no damage. No Gaza factions claimed responsibility for those attacks. Israel has also said it is on alert for attempts by Gazan gunmen to slip into neighbouring Egypt and attack it from there.
