The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), an armed faction largely independent of Gaza’s Islamist Hamas rulers, said its men battled Israeli troops who crossed the border near Khan Younes and that one militant died in an air strike.
Hospital officials said two Palestinian civilians, a father and son, suffered shrapnel wounds in the incident.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
Israel blamed the PRC for a cross-border raid last month in which eight Israelis died.
The PRC, which lost its top leaders in a retaliatory Israeli air strike, denied involvement, and Gaza saw a surge of fighting.
