Palestinian medical officials say an "Israeli" airstrike has killed two Palestinian militants in the northern Gaza Strip.
The "Israeli" military has confirmed the attack, saying its helicopter targeted two men who were firing rockets across the border into "Israeli" territory. The Islamic Jihad militant group claimed responsibility.
The airstrike was launched after rockets fired from northern Gaza exploded in the "Israeli" town of Sderot. One "Israeli" was wounded.
Earlier Sunday, "Israeli" soldiers shot and killed two Hamas members in northern Gaza. The "Israeli" army confirmed that its troops shot two Palestinians who (allagedly) approached the border fence.
"Israeli" troops often shoot at Palestinians who approach the fence in an effort to prevent infiltrations by militants. "Israel" also conducts raids into Gaza to stop militants from launching rockets into "Israel".
