The casualties were members of group Islamic Jihad's rocket crews, who had been launching rockets across the border.
The Israeli military said the air force struck a rocket crew, adding that two rockets hit the Israeli border town of Sderot, damaging a house but causing no casualties, Army Radio reported.
