The Israeli air force says it has attacked a car carrying a group of Palestinian militants in southern Gaza. The Islamic Jihad armed group said those in the vehicle were its members. Doctors said two people were injured. The Israeli military frequently launches such air strikes, saying they are an attempt to combat Palestinian rocket attacks launched from Gaza. But Palestinian militants counter that their rocket attacks are in retaliation for Israeli military action. The blast happened near the Khan Younis refugee camp. It came as Palestinians marked the anniversary of the creation of the state of Israel in 1948 - a day the Palestinians mourn as the "Catastrophe" or al-Nakba.
