GAZA, June 8 (Xinhuanet) -- An Israeli aircraft on Wednesday launched a missile attack at a group of Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip but causing no casualties, Palestinian witnesses said.

    The unmanned Israeli drone fired two missiles at three members of al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, near the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis.

    Witnesses said the three Hamas militants, who were about to launch homemade rockets at Jewish settlements, survived the targeted killing unhurt.

    Palestinian medical sources confirmed that there were no casualties.     

    The incident took place shortly after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas arrived in Gaza to hold talks with Palestinian

    militant groups including Hamas over the current de facto truce with Israel and the postponement of the legislative elections originally scheduled for July 17. Enditem
