Israeli raid kills nine Palestinians

Atul Aneja

DUBAI: An Israeli air raid has killed nine Palestinians including two children, marking a spurt in violence after a phase of relative calm.

The Israeli military said it had targeted militants who were ferrying Katyusha rockets in a vehicle and were about to launch them.

The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad said two of its members were killed in the strike. Seven civilians also died. Eight Palestinian civilians had died on Friday during shelling at a Gaza beach for which Israel has been blamed. That incident led the militant group Hamas to recant its voluntary ceasefire with Israel.

The dead reportedly included two brothers and their father. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of engaging in "state terrorism."

Israeli Defence Minister Amir Peretz said Israel had so far been showing restraint, but would no longer do so.
