GAZA, April 15 (Reuters) - Israel's air force attacked two Palestinian militants as they rode a motorcycle through the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing one and wounding the other, Hamas police officials said.

They identified the casualties from the missile attack in Jabalya refugee camp as members of Islamic Jihad, one of several Palestinian militant factions fighting the Jewish state.

An Israeli military spokeswoman had no immediate comment.

Israel frequently raids Gaza, which has been under Hamas Islamist rule since last June, in what Israeli officials calls an effort to stop cross-border rocket fire and other attacks. (Editing by Matthew Jones)
