Two civilians lightly hurt in mortar attack on Negev kibbutz

Two civilians were lightly wounded Tuesday morning when Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired a mortar shell at the Negev kibbutz of Netiv Ha'asara.

The mortar shell damaged a building and a powerline in the kibbutz.

Earlier Tuesday, two Palestinian militants were killed by an elite Israel Defense Forces unit during a predawn raid in the central Gaza Strip, Hamas and medical officials said.

Hamas said the two militants were the first from the Islamist group to be killed by Israel in nearly a month.

An IDF spokeswoman said troops shot the two Palestinian militants as the army conducted a ground assault against what she called "terror infrastructure" in the Hamas-controlled territory.

The violence could challenge Egyptian-mediated efforts to broker a truce between Israel and militant groups.

Hamas has not claimed any cross-border rocket fire into Israeli towns since the beginning of March.
