GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — An airstrike killed four Palestinians as they were firing mortars at Israel on Sunday, the latest in a surge of clashes that have rocked a 5-month-old truce between Israel and Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers.
In a separate incident, Palestinian rocket fire injured one Israeli.
Both sides say they would like to preserve the truce, which expires next month. But with violence escalating over the past two weeks, the cease-fire appears to be unraveling.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is set to meet today with Hamas’ rival, moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, for another in a series of talks on peace negotiations.
