GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel killed a top commander from the Iranian-backed Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad on Tuesday in the
Gaza Strip, drawing day-long rocket salvoes in the worst cross-border fighting in months.
The rare targeted strike which killed Islamic Jihad's Baha Abu Al-Atta in Gaza came as Syrian state media said a separate
missile attack had hit the home of an Islamic Jihad official in Damascus, killing two people including one of his sons.
Syria said Israel carried out the
Damascus strike.
