Gaza City - Israeli fighter jets fired a missile on a car driving in the northern Gaza Strip, killing two Palestinians and wounding five others, health officials and witnesses said.
The armed wing of the radical Islamic Jihad (Holy War) movement identified the dead as two of its militants.
The airstrike near the refugee camp of Jabalia came after ongoing rockets attacks from Gaza at southern Israel, despite a ferocious and deadly 22-day Israeli offensive which ended in mid-January and aimed to curb such attacks.
Earlier Wednesday, Israeli jets also struck smuggling tunnels in the southern Gaza town of Rafah, destroying several.
