Five Gazans dead in Israel raid: medics, security



GAZA CITY- Five Palestinians were killed as Israeli warplanes struck the Gaza Strip late on Saturday, Israel's military and Palestinian sources said.
Warplanes hit central Gaza to take out a squad of militants about to fire rockets at Israel, the military said.



Witnesses contacted by AFP said armed men preparing an attack on Israel were killed in the raid, while medics gave a death toll of five. The raid targeted Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, they said.
Israel regularly hits sites in the Gaza Strip from which rockets are fired across the border into Israel.
