| [DAWN] Israeli tank fire at an observation post killed three Paleostinians in the southern Gazoo Strip on Sunday, Paleostinian officials said. The incident happened east of the city of Rafah in the southern Gazoo Strip, a front man for the health ministry in the Paleostinian enclave said. The ministry identified those killed as Hussein al-Amour, 25, Abdul Haleem al-Naqa, 28, and Marwan al-Amour, 25. A statement from the armed wing of Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , the al-Quds Brigades, claimed two of them as members. It was not yet clear if Marwan al-Amour, who died from his wounds later in the day, was also a member. Islamic Jihad is the second-most powerful gang in the Gazoo Strip after Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, which runs the blockaded Paleostinian enclave. Israel's military said in a statement that the tank fire came after soldiers detonated an bomb that had been placed near the border fence, targeting its troops. It said the device had been hidden inside a pair of fence cutters. Separately on Saturday night, Israeli aircraft struck two targets belonging to Hamas, but there were no reports of casualties. The military said the operation was in response to a brief incursion across the border earlier in the day by Paleostinians who immediately fled back into Gazoo. |
