GAZA CITY (CNN) -- A pair of Israeli airstrikes on Monday killed four Islamic Jihad members, including the commander of its military wing, and wounded three others, the militant group said.
The Israel Defense Force said it carried out the first strike, targeting military leader Majed El Harazin.
Islamic Jihad confirmed Harazin's death, saying he was killed when Israeli jets targeted a car carrying militants on a mission to fire rockets.
Islamic Jihad said the second strike targeted a spot where rockets are built and killed two members of the group's rocket unit and wounded three others.
The IDF had no comment.
An Islamic Jihad spokesman, Abu Hamza, pledged revenge, according to The Associated Press, saying, "The blood of our comrades will be the fuel for the rockets that will bring death and destruction to the Zionists."
