   southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, October 29, 2011.

   An Israeli airstrike on an Islamic Jihad training camp in the southern
   Gaza Strip has killed five militants.
   Islamic Jihad says a commander of the Palestinian militant group was
   among those killed in the attack Saturday.
   The Israeli military confirmed the airstrike, saying it targeted
   militants preparing to launch rockets at Israel. It said those hit were
   responsible for firing rockets that landed in Israel on Wednesday. That
   attack caused no casualties.
   Palestinian doctors say at least two other people were wounded in the
   airstrike Saturday.

   Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
