(Adds Israeli military comment)

GAZA, Nov 8 (Reuters) - An Israeli military aircraft fired a missile at a car in Gaza City on Wednesday, killing two Palestinian militants, a Palestinian security source said.

The source identified the dead men as members of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction.

But Islamic militant group Hamas claimed them as its own, saying one of them had overseen cross-border rocket salvoes.

An Israeli military spokesman said the air strike targeted a Hamas rocket commander.

Hamas and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades are among militant groups spearheading a more than 6-year-old Palestinian uprising against Israel.
