Gaza air strike follows attack near Israeli border

The attack Monday came hours after a border skirmish that left three dead.

Israeli soldiers shot two infiltrators who fired on a crew building a border wall near Egypt. One worker was killed.

But the military would not say whether the strike on the Palestinian enclave was related to the earlier attack.

Gaza medical sources also said at least seven people were wounded in an airstrike the night before.

No one claimed immediate responsibility for the border attack, which comes amid growing security problems between Egypt and Israel since the former's 2011 uprising.
