An Israeli air strike killed two Gaza militants Sunday, threatening to prompt more tit-for-tat attacks a day after militants committed to calm if Israel reciprocated. "Two Palestinians were killed and another wounded Sunday morning in an Israeli air raid on targets east of Jabaliya," said Gaza emergency services spokesman Adham Abu Selmiya.
Islamic Jihad's armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigade, claimed the men as its own and said it would respond to the "crime" against them.
"The lives of our martyrs will not be wasted," a statement said. "We will answer this crime against our mujahedeen in the right time and place."
An army spokeswoman said "an air force plane attacked a terrorist cell that was preparing to fire a rocket at Israel from the northern Gaza Strip."
