Two people have been wounded in an Israeli air raid on the Gaza Strip, Hamas and Palestinian medical officials have said.

Hamas, the Palestinian group, said one of its members was injured in the attack as he was riding a motorcycle in the town of Khan Younis on Tuesday.

The raid came after an Israeli soldier and a Palestinian were reported to have been killed in a clash near the Kissufim border crossing.

Israel and the Hamas government of the Gaza Strip have maintained uneasy ceasfires since the end of Israel's three-week campaign in Gaza, in which 1,300 people were killed, on January 18.

Neither Hamas nor any other group has claimed responsibility for the attack on the Israeli patrol near the Kissufim crossing.

The incident is the first apparent breach of the January 18 ceasefires.

The Israeli military said the blast came from a bomb planted by Palestinian fighters targeting a patrol near the Kissufim crossing into Gaza.
