An Israeli air strike on a Gaza base of Hamas's military wing killed two people on Saturday, security officials of the territory's Palestinian Islamist leaders said.

The strike on a base in Nusseirat in the central Gaza Strip, one of several in the early hours, came amid protests across the Palestinian territories against US President Donald Trump's controversial recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza named the men as Mahmud al-Atal, 28 and Mohammed al-Safdi, 30.

It said that their bodies were recovered only several hours after the pre-dawn strike on a base of Hamas's military wing in Nusseirat in the central Gaza Strip.

Hamas said the two men were members of its armed wing, which has fought three wars with Israel since 2008.

Thousands of people meanwhile attended the funeral of a man killed in clashes on the Gaza-Israel border on Friday, with mourners calling for revenge.

The air strikes followed three rocket attacks on Friday night from Gaza into southern Israel.
