Israeli airstrike kills 11 in Gaza
JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Israeli forces -- trying to stop what they said were Islamic Jihad terrorists carrying powerful rockets -- fired missiles at a car in northern Gaza Tuesday, killing 11 Palestinians, Israeli and Palestinian sources said. The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement saying, "At noon today IDF aerial forces targeted a car carrying a cell of Islamic Jihad terrorists en route from Gaza City to launch 'Katyusha' rockets against Israel. "In the past several months there have been three incidents of terrorists launching the more advanced 'Katyusha' rockets which have a range of 20 km. "Since Friday morning terrorists have launched over 100 projectile rockets at Israel, 38 of these within the last 24 hours." Five less powerful Qassam rockets landed on the Israeli side of the Gaza border Monday morning, causing no injuries or significant damage, the IDF said.
