Two Palestinian militants have been killed after an Israeli missile struck a house in the northern Gaza Strip.
The men, Iyyad Al-Najar, 28, and Ziad Qaddas, 27, were both identified as members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades.
A third member of Al-Aqsa was seriously wounded in the attack along with two others, including a four-year-old girl.
Officials said the house had been used as a regular launchpad for Palestinian attacks over the border into Israel.
The Israeli military has carried out a series of air raids on Gaza in the aftermath of a suicide attack at a shopping mall in the coastal resort of Netanya which killed five people on Tuesday.
Since the attack dozens of activists from all the main armed factions have been arrested by Israeli troops in the West Bank.
Israel has consistently accused the Palestinian Authority of doing nothing to crack down on hardline groups which are meant to be observing a truce.
The latest deaths brought the death toll since the start of the Palestinian uprising in September 2000 to 4,902. More than 75% of the victims have been Palestinian.
The bloodshed has also dampened enthusiasm of a breakthrough in the peace process which had been bolstered by Israel's pullout from the Gaza Strip and a subsequent agreement for the border between Gaza and Egypt to be re-opened.
