Israeli Gaza air strikes kill militant leader
A senior Palestinian militant leader has been killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza, Israeli and Palestinian sources say.
Zohair al-Qaisi, secretary general of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), was targeted because he was planning an attack, the Israelis said.
Another militant was also killed.
The Israeli military later confirmed a second air strike killed two more people it says were preparing to fire rockets into Israel.
