Two Islamic Jihad fighters zapped
 Two Palestinian fighters have been killed and two others wounded in an Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip. Aljazeera, quoting Palestinian medical sources, said the fighters, who belonged to Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades, were killed inside a car late on Friday in northern Gaza. Islamic Jihad identified the dead men as Emad Yassin and Habib Ashour.An Israeli army spokeswoman said the air strike targeted "a car between Gaza City and the Deir al-Balah camp carrying an Islamic Jihad cell responsible for the firing of rockets into Israel". The army says 120 rockets have been fired in southern Israel in the past week. Israel's Army Radio said Yassin was one of Islamic Jihad's top operatives in the Gaza Strip and was responsible for many of the rocket attacks against Israel in recent days. Earlier in the day, Palestinian fighters had fired five homemade rockets into Israel but the army reported that no injuries were caused by the attacks. Posted by: Fred 2006-06-17 |
