Four killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza

GAZA CITY (AFP) - Four Palestinians were killed on Wednesday in Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip, medics said, as US President George W. Bush landed in Israel on a trip in honour of its 60th anniversary.

Three Palestinians were killed during clashes with Israeli troops east of the northern town and refugee camp of Jabaliya, according to Dr Muawiya Hassanein, the head of Gaza emergency services.

Witnesses said two of the men were militants from the Islamist Hamas movement that has ruled the Gaza Strip since June.

Another Hamas militant was killed in an air strike near the southern town of Khan Yunis, medics said.
