Two members of the Salah a-Din faction, the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, were reported killed Monday evening in an IAF airstrike in the Jebaliya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. Eiman Assiylia, 26, died immediately and Majdi Hamed succumbed to his wounds approximately half an hour after three IAF missiles struck their car, Palestinian sources said.
The IDF reported that Assiylia was involved in terror activity targeting Israeli, including numerous Kassam rocket attacks. Hamed was a senior intelligence officer and was involved in two attempted terror attacks at the Karni crossing. Earlier Monday, a bomb went off in the camp, killing a Hamas activist. Israel denied responsibility. Gaza has been wracked by clashes between rival forces loyal to the Hamas-led government and Fatah, which is headed by Palestinian Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. | |
