Israeli air strikes on Gaza have killed at least 12 Palestinians, including a senior militant leader.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Zohair al-Qaisi, secretary general of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), was targeted because he was planning an attack, the Israelis said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another militant was killed with him. The Islamic Jihad militant group said 10 members of its military wing, the al-Quds Brigades, were also killed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Israeli military said dozens of rockets had been fired into Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

A spokeswoman said the rocket attacks had injured at least four people, one seriously. Some of the rockets had been intercepted by Israel’s “Iron Dome” anti-missile system, she added.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rockets were apparently fired in retaliation for the killing of PRC leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Correspondents say it is one of the worst outbreaks of violence along the Gaza border for several months.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Israeli strikes mainly took place on Friday, but one militant was killed in a pre-dawn attack on a car on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Medical sources say one man was also seriously injured in Friday’s attack on the car carrying Qaisi, near Gaza City.<\/span><\/p>\n

Witnesses say Israeli drones were heard in the area shortly before the car burst into flames, the Associated Press reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first air strike came a few hours after two mortar shells fired from Gaza landed in Israel without causing injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PRC, which represents a number of armed factions aligned with Hamas, the Islamist movement that runs Gaza, has carried out several rocket and grenade attacks against Israel. It also sometimes operates independently of Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n

An Israeli military spokesman said Qaisi was behind a series of gun and bomb attacks near Israel’s border with Egypt last year, in which eight Israelis were killed. Ten of the attackers and five Egyptian soldiers also died.<\/span><\/p>\n

The spokesman warned Israelis living within range of rockets fired from Gaza to stay indoors overnight.<\/span><\/p>\n

A spokesman for the PRC in Gaza vowed to take revenge on Israel for the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

“All options are open before the fighters to respond to this despicable crime. The assassination of our chief will not end our resistance,” Abu Attiya, a spokesman for the PRC group told Reuters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The former head of the PRC, Kamal al-Nairab, and its military chief were killed in a similar Israeli attack last year.<\/span><\/p>\n
