Israeli air strike kills 1 in Gaza

Israel said its warplanes killed a senior jihadist militant in Gaza yesterday, two days after saying it was weighing a wider campaign there to curb rising rocket attacks.
Israel's military identified the man killed as a "senior operative in the global jihad movement" who was involved in planning an attack from Egypt.
Palestinians said that Moamen abu-Daff, known locally as a fundamentalist Islamic Salafi militant, was killed in a raid east of Gaza City that also wounded another man. They did not link the dead man to a specific group.
There were no banners or flags at his funeral yesterday and no political speeches were made or slogans chanted by the group of about 100 mourners, although the men present wore the full beards typical of Salafists.
