A Hamas resistance fighter was martyred early Wednesday morning in an "Israeli" occupation Air Force strike on a group of fighters near the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah, Palestinian sources reported. The fighter was named as Mohammed Hassan.
Meanwhile, witnesses and security officials said that two Palestinians were wounded in the "Israeli" air raid on the Gaza Strip overnight, one of them seriously. They said that the two Palestinians were members of the Ezzeddine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Hamas movement. According to a statement issued by the "Israeli" occupation army, the "Israeli" border policemen believed the men were attempting to carry out an attack.
Sources also said that an "Israeli" warplane fired a missile that hit the northern Gaza Strip but no one was hurt.
An official of the resistance movement earlier said that three members of Hamas` Executive Force police were killed in Gaza City Tuesday when their vehicle was hit by shelling from the "Israeli" navy. Their families said two of the victims, Youssef Hammada and Hodeibi Khader, both aged around 20, were members of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed faction linked to Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas`s Fatah movement. A Hamas official said an investigation would be opened into the incident.
