An Israeli air strike has killed a Palestinian and wounded at least one other in the Gaza Strip, marking the first fatal air strike there since a ceasefire in November. The victim, in his twenties, was identified as Haitham al-Mishal. The Israeli military said he was a militant involved in a rocket attack on Israel earlier this month. But a spokesperson for Gaza’s health ministry said he was a Palestinian police officer. In an unrelated incident hours earlier, a Palestinian man reportedly killed an Israeli settler in the West Bank. It was the first Israeli death from Palestinian violence in the area since 2011.
