Gaza City (Palestinian Territories), Nov 12 (AFP) Two Palestinians were killed and three others wounded as Israeli warplanes struck targets across Gaza on Monday, the strip's Hamas-run health ministry said in a statement.

The ministry said that the dead men were civilians, but the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine militant group said in a statement that they were its fighters.

The air raids followed a barrage of rocket fire from the Palestinian enclave into southern Israel, for which Gaza's Islamist rulers Hamas claimed responsibility. (AFP) MRJ
