Airstrikes by Israeli forces in Gaza kill at least two Palestinian militants and injure a third, officials on both sides say.

The deaths are the result of one in about a dozen air strikes by Israeli forces in response to rocket fire at southern Israeli towns.

This is the latest spate of violence in the region since three Israeli teens were found dead in the West Bank, followed by a Palestinian youth who was abducted and killed in Jerusalem.

The Israeli government blamed the deaths of the Israeli teens on the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.
