Gaza, July 12: At least two Palestinian militants were seriously wounded by an Israeli missile strike as gunmen battled with troops in the Gaza Strip today, Palestinian medical staff and militants said.

Gaza hospital officials confirmed two Palestinian militants were being treated for serious wounds.

The Palestinian reports said the two militants, members of the Islamic Jihad militant group, were hit during an exchange of fire with Israeli forces as fighting continued in the area in early morning hours.
