CAIRO, Oct 12 (Reuters) - An Israeli strike killed at least two Palestinians in the southern Gaza Strip on Monday, health officials said. The Israeli military said it targeted a militant in the area, without giving further information. Israel, which says Hamas has been rearming and launching attacks in violation of a ceasefire, has stepped up strikes on the group in recent weeks. Hamas has denied trying to carry out attacks or rebuild its arsenal and accuses Israel of undermining the Gaza peace deal
