An Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a group of Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip today, Palestinian witnesses said.

Three militants escaped the explosion unharmed, they added.

There was no immediate comment from the army.

During four years of fighting, Israel has carried out dozens of airstrikes in Gaza.

But it has virtually halted the practice since a cease-fire declaration four months ago.
