Medics say Israeli air strike kills four militants in Gaza

GAZA (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike killed four Palestinian militants and injured two others in the northern Gaza Strip, the Islamist group Hamas and medics said on Saturday.

An Israeli army spokeswoman said a missile was fired at a group of militants spotted approaching Israel's border fence with the coastal territory. She said the militants had planned to fire rockets into Israel.
