Israel attacks Hamas after mystery blast

An Israeli missile strike in the Gaza Strip has killed three Hamas fighters and wounded two others, Palestinian emergency services said.

The dead fighters were members of the al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades, an armed branch of the Islamist Hamas movement.

The Israeli missile hit the Jabaliya refugee camp, north of Gaza City, the emergency services said.

An Israeli military spokeswoman in Tel Aviv said "there was an air strike against the Gaza Strip" but declined to give further details.
