Al-Jazzera reports on the death of two resistance fighters yesterday. According to the Israelis they were planting IEDs. Hamas and the PFLP have confirmed that their fighters were involved. Interesting to see this level of co-operation between the secular and religious wings of the resistance movement.
Two Palestinian fighters have been killed after the Israeli military fired tank shells and mortars near the Gaza border.
The Israeli army said that the two men were planting explosive devices along the fence which separates the territory from Israel on Sunday.
"The two men, both in their early twenties, Abed al-haft Chalil al-Silawai and Machmud Achmed Muhammed Nazir, are known for recently planting explosive devices along the Gaza security fence and are responsible for firing mortar shells into Israeli territory," it said in a statement.
It also said that they fired three rockets into Israeli territory on August 24 and injured a soldier.
The military wing of Hamas said that 21-year-old al-Silawai was one of their fighters, while the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) identified the 21-year-old Nazir as a member of their group.
