GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Medical officials say an airstrike Saturday killed two men in the southern Gaza Strip, raising to 14 the number of Palestinians killed since Israel assassinated a military leader 24 hours earlier.

The latest attack east of Khan Younis came from a drone which fired on a motorcycle, said Gaza medical official Adham Abu Salmiya.

The body of Hussein Barham Al-Breim, 51, was transferred to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Abu Salmiya said. Mansour Kamal Abu Nuseira, 20, was taken to European Hospital, where he later died.

An Israeli military spokeswoman had no immediate comment.

Earlier, the military said about 90 rockets had been fired toward Israeli territory at the weekend, injuring eight people including one seriously in southern Israel.

Islamic Jihad’s military wing said 10 of its fighters have died since Friday. The Al-Quds Brigades launched 41 Grad missiles, 20 projectiles, six mortar shells, and three 107-mm rockets, it said.
