GAZA, May 29 (RIA Novosti) - Israeli troops killed two Hamas militants after moving into southern Gaza early Tuesday, local television reported.
Israel stepped up pinpoint attacks on Gaza early on Sunday, targeting militant leaders behind the rocket attacks on Sderot, southern Israel, in which 15 people were wounded, and following which hundreds have been forced to flee their homes.
Both militants belonged to a military arm of the radical Hamas movement. A Palestinian woman was wounded in a gunbattle between Israeli commandos and militants, the Palestinian television channel said.
About 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since mid-May directed at Hamas and Islamic Jihad, who have fired more than a hundred rockets into southern Israel over the past week.
