JERUSALEM (AFP) - – Israeli warplanes killed three Islamic Jihad gunmen on Sunday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned the military would use maximum force to counter attacks by Palestinian militants in Gaza.
 
The aircraft targeted a group of militants in the central Gaza Strip, killing the three with air-to-ground missiles, Palestinian medics said.
 
The Israeli military said they targeted the group "as they were preparing to fire rockets into Israel."
 
Earlier on Sunday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel would react harshly after a recent upsurge in rocket and mortar attacks from the Islamist Hamas-ruled enclave.
 
"Our government's policy is clear," he said before the weekly cabinet meeting. "We will respond to any firing into our territory strongly and immediately."
 
Militants fired four mortar rounds at southern Israel on Sunday, without causing casualties.
 
Later in the day the air raid struck east of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. Muawiya Hassanein, head of Gaza emergency services, said the bodies of three men were later taken to a hospital in the town.
 
The dead were all members of the militant Islamic Jihad group, he said.
 
It was the latest violence along Gaza's border, which has been mostly quiet since a war Israel launched on the Islamist Hamas in Gaza on December 27, 2008, in response to rocket fire ended with mutual ceasefires on January 18, 2009.
 
The ceasefires have largely held, despite violations by both sides, and Hamas has largely succeeded in restraining Islamic Jihad, a smaller rival Islamist group.
