Two Islamic Hamas militants were killed in an Israeli helicopter missile strike on a Palestinian car travelling through a Gaza Strip refugee camp today, Palestinian security sources and medics said.

The medics identified one of the men as a senior member of Hamas's military wing and said nine bystanders were also wounded in the attack, which followed a West Bank shooting that killed a Jewish settler yesterday.
