Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip have left at least 10 Palestinians dead and more than 30 others wounded. Israel's defense minister says Israel will no longer show restraint against militants in Gaza.
Witnesses in Gaza City say a yellow van traveling on a busy highway in northern Gaza was struck about midday by Israeli fire.
Captain Noa Meir, a spokeswoman for the Israeli Defense Forces, says the operation was targeted at Islamic Jihad militants who were planning on launching Katyusha rockets against targets in Israel.
"This is actually the third incident in the past two months of terrorists launching the more advanced Katyusha rocket," Meir said. "This rocket has a range of 20 kilometers and has proved deadly in the past."
