The two men, who were members of the Islamic Jihad militant group, died when a missile was fired into their car in the Zeitoun district. Witnesses say the vehicle was split in two by the force of the attack.

The Zeitoun area is known as a militant stronghold. The Israeli army has confirmed the strike, but offered no further details.
