GAZA, March 20 (RIA Novosti) - Israel's Air Force has destroyed a militant command post in Gaza, leaving at least one person dead, a military source said on Thursday.
The building belonged to the Izz el-Deen al-Qassam brigades, a militant wing of hard-line Islamist group Hamas, which controls the Palestinian enclave.
A few hours earlier Israeli troops shot dead a 60-year-old Palestinian farmer on the border with Gaza, local radio said.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert insisted on Wednesday that Israel could halt rocket attacks by militants based in Gaza without a major ground offensive in the Palestinian enclave.
