At least two Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in an airstrike. Israeli defence officials confirmed the hit, accusing the men of being members of a militant group aligned with the territory’s Hamas rulers.<br />. <br />The deaths followed a separate incident on Friday in Gaza, in which six Palestinians were injured, including an 11-year-old boy, after Israeli tanks opened fire. <br /><br />Israel claimed that attack was a response to the detonation of an earlier explosive against its troops on the border. <br /><br />The military strikes come at a time of renewed tension in the region following the disappearance of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank. <br />On Thursday, Israel named two Palestinian men it suspects of kidnapping the youths. <br /><br />Hundreds of Palestinians have been arrested during raids in the hunt for the missing teenagers.
