GAZA, Sept. 30 (Xinhua) -- One Palestinian militant was killed and three others wounded when an Israeli missile hit their car in southern Gaza border town of Rafah on Saturday night, Palestinian witnesses and medics said.

    The witnesses said that the four militants were in a car driving in al-Sallam neighborhood of Rafah as an Israeli drone fired one air-to-ground missile at their car.

    Palestinian medics said that one was sent to hospital dead and three others wounded, one of them in critical conditions.

    The four militants are members of al-Mujahideen Brigades, an armed branch of Fatah's military wing al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, said Palestinian security sources.

    Meanwhile, a group of militants from Al-Quds Brigades, armed wing of the Islamic Jihad (Holy War), narrowly escaped another missile attack launched by an Israeli drone in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun.

    Local witnesses said that the militants were targeted by Israeli drone when they were approaching a rocket launcher in the town and were about to fire homemade rockets from the area at Israel. Enditem
