Two Palestinians killed by Israeli drone in Gaza
2014-07-07
[Al Ahram] Two Palestinian fighters were killed and another wounded Sunday by an Israeli drone strike in the Gaza Strip, emergency services said. The victims were among a group of armed men who targeted by the Israeli drone east of Al-Bureij refugee camp, near central Gaza's border with the Jewish state, witnesses said.
The Times of Israel adds:
Two Paleostinians were reported killed in an Israeli strike on the Gazoo Strip late Sunday night, capping a day of near-constant rocket fire on Israeli towns near the Paleostinian enclave.

Israeli planes struck the refugee camp of al Bureij in the central strip just before midnight Sunday, targeting a rocket launching crew.
So it was a little more than the well-known Israeli grudge against armed Arabs wandering the landscape...
The army said in a statement in prevented a rocket attack "by targeting terrorists." It said a hit was confirmed.

The Paleostinian Ma'an news agency said two members of Islamic Jihad

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...
's armed wing were killed.

Some 25 rockets were fired at Israel over the course of Sunday, most of which landed in open areas.
