Israeli tank shells on eastern Gaza kills Hamas militant
(Xinhua) -- A militant of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) was killed and two others wounded on Saturday night by an Israeli tank shells which was fired at Sheja'eya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, medics and Hamas said. Hamas armed wing al-Qassam Brigades said in a statement that one of its militants was killed and two others wounded in an Israeli tank shells on them near the border between eastern Gaza city and Israel. Medics at Shiffa hospital said that Bilal al-Sharabasi was killed and two others wounded, one seriously by the shrapnel of an Israeli tank shell that had directly targeted them. Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak had earlier threatened that Israel is closed more than anytime to carry out a tough large-scale military operation against Gaza militant groups, mainly Hamas movement. Hamas movement's spokesman Fawzi Barhoum had said that the movement is seriously considering the Israeli threats to attack Gaza, adding "the only choice then will be resistance against an Israeli attack." "Israel had got a green light from the United States to attack the Gaza Strip, and we would tell them that the only thing would remain for the Palestinians is to resist and fight," said Barhoum.
