GAZA, April 11 (Reuters) - Israeli air strikes killed at least two Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip on Friday, Hamas and medical workers said.

An Israeli army spokeswoman said the army had carried out an air strike targeting militants in the Hamas-controlled territory.

Palestinian medical workers said seven other gunmen were wounded in two air strikes outside the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis near the border fence with Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Thursday vowed Israel would strike Hamas after Gaza militants killed two Israeli civilians at a border terminal with Israel.
