The attack came hours after Israeli artillery fire hit a home east of Gaza City killing a child, a teenager and three adults. Emergency services spokesman Adham Abu Salmiya said the four victims of the latest strike were members of the Al-Quds Brigades. They were all in their 20s, he said. Abu Salmiya identified those killed as Adham Al-Hazareen, Sa’dy Hals, Muhammad Atyeh Al-Harazeen and Muhammad Abed. An Israeli military spokeswoman said Israeli fighter jets identified “a group of terrorists” in northern Gaza who she said were preparing to launch a projectile into Israel. The warplanes dropped missiles on the group “and confirmed a hit,” she added. The army official said the men targeted were from the same group that launched a grad rocket into Israel on February 23, but could not say how they had been identified. Continues >> |
