Israeli strike kills two in Gaza: witnesses
GAZA - An Israeli military strike in the northern Gaza Strip killed two people on Friday, Palestinian security services and witnesses said. The Israeli army said it could not release details on the attack but said it had targeted two men suspected of involvement in firing rockets into Israel.An army spokeswoman said the two had been hit as they were collecting a launcher that had been used several times over the past week to fire rockets from northern Gaza. She said they had been targeted by ground forces, not from the air, but would not confirm what sort of weaponry was used. Witnesses said the two were teenage boys who were passing by on bicycles and were hit after stopping to look at the rocket launcher out of curiosity.
