Israel air strike hits Gaza Strip

Israel has launched an air strike on a target in the Gaza Strip, killing one Palestinian and wounding another, medical officials said.

The strike hit close to the town of Khan Younis.

The two men were riding on a motorcycle close to the scene of the air strike, reports said.
The strike came hours after officials from Hamas - which has internal control of Gaza - said they expected a truce with Israel to be announced in days.
