GAZA, June 30 (Reuters) - Israeli warplanes launched a third air strike in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, targeting a metal works facility in the same camp where a militant and two other Palestinians were killed in an earlier attack, witnesses said.

Residents of Maghazi refugee camp said an F-16 warplane had bombed the workshop after dark. There were no immediate reports about casualties.

An Israeli military spokeswoman was checking the report.

Six Palestinians including four militants have been killed in two previous Israeli air strikes in Hamas-ruled Gaza on Saturday.
