Three Palestinians, including two Hamas militants, were killed by Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip Friday, authorities in the enclave said, after Israel said two of its soldiers were wounded in a shooting on the border.
One of the Palestinians was shot dead during clashes along the frontier while two Hamas fighters were killed in an air strike, the health ministry in Gaza said.
The Israeli army said the air strike was in retaliation for the shooting incident on the border that left its soldiers wounded.
The Gaza ministry named the men killed in the air strike as Abdullah Abu Mallouh, 33 and Alaa al-Bubli, 29, while the man killed in the clashes was named as 19-year-old Raid Abu Teer.
The Israeli military said it had hit a base belonging to Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas after shots were fired at its forces along the border.
Hamas confirmed the two men killed in the air strike were members of its military wing and pledged to respond to what it called an "Israeli aggression."
