Israel kept up its pressure on Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, assassinating two key figures behind the ongoing rocket attacks on Israel. One rocket struck an apartment building in central Israel, killing a man — the country’s first casualty since hostilities began.
The rocket hit the Israeli city of Rehovot, wounding seven others and threatening to complicate Egyptian-led efforts for a truce from the three-day old exchange of fire.
