An Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip has killed at least three Palestinians and wounded a fourth, a spokesman for the territory's health ministry says.

Achraf al-Qudra told the AFP news agency the attack happened late on Wednesday to the east of the al-Maghazi refugee camp in the center of the Gaza Strip.

Al-Qudra gave names of two of those killed as Khalil al-Jerba, 27, and Khaled al-Qerem, 25. Witnesses said the Israeli strike had targeted the car in which they were travelling.

An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed the attack to AFP.

In recent days, Palestinian fighters have fired rockets into southern Israel from the Gaza Strip, without causing any casualties, according to the Israeli army.
