More details ...A statement by Palestinian security said there were three missile hits, and those killed were struck by shrapnel from a missile fired after they had gathered near the vehicle.
Some witnesses said militants were able to flee the car after the first missile hit - which the video appeared to show caused only minor damage. The second missile caused more serious harm and, Israeli officials said, killed the militants inside.
But the images on the video were unclear so it was not possible to verify the witnesses' claims that the militants fled after the first strike.
But Palestinians said all of those killed were bystanders. They included an 11-year-old boy and a doctor who rushed to the scene to treat the wounded. Some 70 people were wounded, according to Palestinian medical officials.
