Five Hamas resistance fighters have been martyred in a new "Israeli" occupation air strike early Saturday in the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian witnesses and officials said.
Moaiya Hassanain, of the Gaza Health Ministry, said nine others were wounded in the strike, including two who were in critical condition.
Hamas officials said the dead included two of its men and three from another resistance group who were on a night patrol east of Khan Younis, a town in the southern Gaza Strip.
The occupying regime carries out regular military operations in Gaza and began reducing fuel supplies to Gaza last month.
"Israel" claims the incursions are in response to ongoing rocket fire from Palestinian resistance fighters.
The occupying regime also planned to begin scaling back electricity beginning Sunday.
The ruling was in response to a legal challenge from a coalition of human rights groups that says the policy constitutes collective punishment.
