Israeli strike kills two Palestinians in Gaza
2012-01-19
[Dawn] An Israeli aircraft and tank strike killed two Paleostinians close to the border fence in the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-controlled Gazoo Strip on Wednesday, medical officials said.

Residents of the north Gazoo town of Beit Hanoun said Israeli planes and tanks had fired into the area.

An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed the attack and an army statement said: "Aircraft and armored corps soldiers targeted a terrorist squad that was planting an bomb near the security fence in the northern Gazoo Strip."

The statement said it was the second such attempt in 2012 by Paleostinian gun-hung tough guys to plant a bomb in an area of the border where the Israeli military regularly patrols. Israel has declared the frontier area a no-go zone for Gazoo residents.

Paleostinian medical officials said one man was killed at the scene and a second man later died at hospital of his wounds.

No Paleostinian cut-thoat group claimed the men as members.

It was the first deadly military strike in the Gazoo Strip since Dec. 30, when an Israeli aircraft killed the leader of an al Qaeda-inspired faction.
