"The two gunmen were shot and killed after attempting to flee the scene," a statement from the Israeli military said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said both men were 22 years old and died of bullet wounds to their chest, neck and abdomen.
The incident came after an exchange of cross-border strikes between Israel and Gaza this week.
