GAZA, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Israel's air force bombed the homes of two senior Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday after warning their occupants to get out, witnesses and militant officials said.

The first strike, by a helicopter gunship firing two missiles, targeted the house of a leader of the Popular Resistance Committees armed group in Shathi refugee camp outside Gaza City. Residents said a person walking outside was wounded.

Minutes later, an Israeli warplane bombed the home of a military commander from the governing Palestinian faction Hamas in nearby Jabalya refugee camp. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said the air strikes, which came hours after a Palestinian rocket salvo from Gaza killed a woman in Israel, targeted militant arms caches.

A family of Somali refugees rebuilds their makeshift house, after evacuating from the IFO refugee camp for higher grounds, on the outskirts of Dadaab, 80 km (50 miles) from the Somalia-Kenya border, November 24, 2006. Insecurity in Somalia is threatening efforts to help more than a million people uprooted by floods sweeping across large parts of the chaotic Horn of Africa country, the United Nations said on Friday.
