Gaza City, Gaza Strip - An Israeli missile strike destroyed a car driving through the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing three people, witnesses said.
The air strike demolished the car, which was travelling on a road used by Palestinians near the Israeli settlement of Netzarim, the witnesses said.
Israeli jets were heard flying overhead shortly after two explosions were heard. Smoke billowed from the wreckage of the car ambulances rushed to the scene.
The car apparently belonged to a member of the Hamas militant group, residents said. The Israeli army had no immediate comment.
