An Israeli aircraft attacked two Palestinians laying a bomb near the Gaza-Israel border fence on Sunday, the army said. Palestinians said two militants were killed.
Palestinian medical officials said the two bodies were recovered in Khouza'a, a border village near the Palestinian city of Khan Younis.
Residents said the two men, ages 18 and 20, were members of the Popular Resistance Committees, a militant group that has carried out several deadly bombings on Israeli targets in the past. The group did not immediately comment on the incident.
