(KUNA) -- Two Palestinians were killed and a number of others were wounded in an Israeli air strike targeting a car in Buraih camp in central Gaza, eyewitnesses said on Thursday. They indicated that an Israeli drone aircraft fired three missiles at a civilian car, which led to the killing of two fighters from the Al-Quds Brigades and the wounding of another. They were passengers in the car. The body of one of the fighters was identified as that of Muhammad Hassanein.
Earlier, three other fighters from Al-Quds Brigades were also killed and nine others injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted a gathering of Palestinian fighters in Khan Yunis. This Israeli escalation came less than two hours after the meeting that brought together President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in a house in Jerusalem where they both agreed not to carry out any steps that would prejudice final status negotiations. |
