GAZA CITY - Two Palestinian militants were killed and three wounded on Thursday when Israeli aircraft attacked the north of the Gaza Strip, medical sources and witnesses said.
The raid on Beit Hanun targeted militants of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a group loosely linked to the Fatah movement of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, the witnesses said.
The group named the dead men, both in their twenties, as Ayed al-Bayarai and Mohammed al-Qishawi.
So Mo' and Ayed went to pop off a Qassam at the evil Joooz, and now they're dead. Nice going, boys. | An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed there had been an attack but said it had involved ground units. She said the attack targeted “a cell that was about to fire rockets” at Israel. |
