| Israel mounted an air strike in the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing two Hamas militants and wounding two, the Palestinian group and medical staff said. Hamas, which seized control of Gaza in June when it routed Palestinian President Mahmoud AbbasÂ’s forces, said the four men were travelling in a car near the border fence with Israel and close to the al-Bureij refugee camp when the attack occurred. Israel has killed more than 20 militants in the past two weeks in increased military action in the coastal territory. The Jewish state carries out frequent raids into Gaza to try and stop militants from firing rockets at southern Israeli towns. |
