Israeli bombings in Gaza shook buildings and sent Palestinians fleeing for cover.
GAZA/JERUSALEM - A rocket fired from Gaza killed an Israeli civilian on Sunday and two Palestinian gunmen were killed in an Israeli strike as cross-border hostilities ran into their third day.
Egyptian and UN mediators, credited with brokering ceasefires in previous rounds of violence, were working to prevent further hostilities. Two other Palestinians protesting near the frontier were killed by Israeli forces on the same day, Palestinian officials said. Israeli military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Conricus said on Saturday that Israel was prepared to intensify attacks. He added that Islamic Jihad was trying to destabilise the border and blamed Hamas for failing to rein it in.
