(ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION) An Israeli airstrike kill a gunman of the Islamist Hamas group and wounded another in an attack against a security compound of the Islamist faction, which rules Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical officials said on Thursday (July 12). The new deaths broke a three-week lull which followed a wave of violence in June that killed nine Palestinians before Egypt intervened with Hamas and Israel to impose restraint along the borders. An earlier attack wounded three other Palestinians east of Gaza City in what an Israeli spokesman said had targeted a group of Hamas gunmen who were trying to launch an anti- tank missile at Israeli soldiers on routine patrol along the fence with the enclave. There was no comment from Hamas on this incident.
