Four Palestinian militants were killed Wednesday after Israeli forces fired rockets and mortars at Gaza City, while more than 50 rockets and mortar shells were fired in Israel overnight, according to the Israel Defense Forces. At least one Israeli soldier was injured by a bomb blast near the Gaza border fence, one day after two militants died in an air strike. The violence comes as Qatar’s emir visited Gaza, the first head of state to come to the region since the Islamist militants Hamas came to power in 2007.
