 GAZA: Israeli aircraft struck the southern Gaza Strip targeting rocket-launching fighters, the military said Monday, and Palestinian officials reported that two terrorists men were found dead in the area. The Israeli military said in a statement that its aircraft attacked a terrorist squad that had just fired a rocket into Israel. The military said it had “confirmed a hit” but provided no further details.
Palestinian security officials said two bodies were discovered around dawn wearing the uniform of Al-Ahrar, or “The Free People,” a splitter little-known group with ties to Gaza’s Hamas rulers that previously had no history of violence against Israel.
The terrorists men were unarmed and no rocket launchers were found in the area, the officials said. |
