GAZA, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Israel's air force attacked a senior Palestinian militant as he drove through the northern Gaza Strip on Monday, wounding him and at least two others, a source in the ruling Hamas faction said.

The missile attack on Amer Qarmout of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) came hours after a Palestinian suicide bomber killed one person in the southern Israeli town of Dimona.

An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed an air strike had taken place, saying it targeted a PRC member.

The PRC has frequently fired rockets from Gaza into Israel. It was not among Palestinian factions that issued claims of responsibility for the bombing in Dimona.
