In additional failure, Israeli airstrike misses terrorists, kills civilians
Israeli aircraft missed their target in Gaza for the second time in two days, crashing into a house and killing two Palestinian civilians, intensifying international criticism of the army's policy of striking militants from the air.

Israeli air force chief says despite miss, air strikes will continue
The Israeli army will not halt its policy of firing airborne missiles at Palestinian militants despite recent mistakes that killed five civilians in two days, the air force chief said Thursday.
