Palestinian militants fired rockets into Israel on Monday after an Israeli air strike in Damascus killed two members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group.<br /> Israeli jets carried out strikes on Islamic Jihad positions in Syria just before after the militants and Israeli forces clashed over the Gaza border.<br /> The strikes in the Adeliyah region outside Damascus targeted what the Israeli military called "a hub of Islamic Jihad's activity in Syria", including the research and development of weapons.<br /> Islamic Jihad later said in a statement that two of its members were killed in the air strike. Israeli Defence Minister Naftali Bennett said: "We have eliminated six terrorists in the past 24 hours, not just in Gaza."
