Hospital officials said the boys, aged 12 and 13, were in an area used by militants to fire rockets into southern Israel. Medics described them as civilians.

An Israeli army spokeswoman said Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians who had just launched three rockets into Israel.

In the occupied West Bank earlier on Wednesday, an Israeli soldier was shot and injured while driving near a Jewish settlement, ambulance services said.
