MAGHAZI REFUGEE CAMP, GAZA : An Israeli air strike on Tuesday (March 31) killed two Palestinian militants in the central Gaza Strip close to the border fence with Israel, medical workers said.
Residents of Maghazi refugee camp, near the scene of the incident, said a helicopter fired two missiles at militants who had launched a rocket-propelled grenade at an Israeli unit.
The medical workers said two of the militants had been killed and two were wounded.
An Israeli security source said the air strike was directed against militants who tried to plant explosive devices along the border fence.
It was the first time that Israelis had killed Palestinian militants in Gaza in March. Israel ended a 22-day offensive in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on January 18.
