<p>Medical  sources said the dead men were Ashraf Qatayfan, 29, Jihad Khalef, 21,  and Talat al-Ruwagh, 25.  The missile came from an Israeli warship in  the early hours of the morning and killed all three immediately. The  bodies were taken to Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahiya.</p>
<p>The  bodies were “heavily deformed” from the strike, said medical sources.  One eyewitness said an Israeli warplane had also taken part in the  attack.</p>
<p>According to Reuters, no Gaza militant group had yet  claimed the slain men as members. Witnesses told Reuters that they had  heard gunfire overnight.</p>
<p>The Israeli army released a statement  saying that the strike was in response to five rockets that had been  fired from Gaza toward towns in southern Israel.</p>
<p>In overnight  raids by the Israeli army around the West Bank, eleven Palestinians were  arrested. Three were identified as Ahmed Saeed Salah, Hosam Abu Aisha,  and Bashir al-Zamel from villages near Nablus. The identities and  locations of the other eight were not known at press time.</p>
