Second Israeli air strike Sunday targets Palestinian rocket team

The two men killed near the central Gaza town of Deir el Balakh Sunday had earlier fired Qassam rockets at the Eshkol and Kissufim regions.  In two days, Israeli air attacks on the Gaza Strip have killed six terrorists, high-profile members of an Al Qaeda-linked Salafi group operating in Gaza and Sinai and the hardline Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

The Israeli military reports more than 500 rockets and mortar rounds were fired at southwestern Israel from Gaza this year, several score in the last two weeks.
