GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- The military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine on Tuesday said it would respond to Israel's assassination of a Palestinian in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli warplanes on Tuesday fired at a motorcycle west of Gaza City, killing 25-year- old Haitham al-Mishal, a security guard at al- Shifa hospital, health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said.

Israel says it targeted "a global Jihad-affiliated terrorist" involved in a rocket attack on Eilat.

The National Resistance Brigades said in a statement that it would respond to the strike and vowed to continue resistance until Palestine is liberated.
