Two Palestinians have been killed in clashes with Israeli soldiers in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian residents and medics say.

The fighting took place as the Israeli army seized two houses in a raid near the town of Beit Lahiya.

Palestinian militants went to confront them and at one point Hamas fighters struck with an anti-tank weapon.

The army said it targeted groups that fire rockets into Israel. It said three soldiers were wounded in the raid.

On Wednesday, an Israeli woman was killed by a rocket fired from Gaza.

Hamas said its rocket fire that day was retaliation for the deaths of 19 Palestinians, mostly women and children, killed by Israeli artillery fire earlier this month.
