The anti-tank missile hit the town of Kfar Yuval on Israel's northern border, killing Barak Ayalon, 45, and his mother Miri Ayalon, 76.

Earlier the Israeli military said it killed four gunmen trying to cross from Lebanon into Israel.

It comes as Hamas health officials in Gaza said 125 more people had been killed in continuing Israeli strikes.

That brings the number of deaths in Gaza since Israel began retaliatory attacks on the Strip to nearly 24,000, with thousands more believed dead under rubble. Local officials say children and women account for about two-thirds of the dead. About 60,000 people have been injured.
