Two Palestinians have been killed by the "Israeli" occupation army in Gaza, Palestinian ambulance workers have said.
The "Israeli" army said that its soldiers opened fire in the early hours of Monday morning after they saw two armed men approaching the fence that divides "Israel" from Palestinian-ruled Gaza.
"A unit operating near the border, in an area adjacent to the northern Gaza Strip, spotted two suspects who were crawling toward the security barrier (allegedly) carrying an explosive device," an "Israeli" spokesman claimed.
"The soldiers opened fire in their direction causing the device to explode. The two men are probably dead."
Ambulance workers recover bodies
Palestinian ambulance workers said they recovered two bodies from the scene.
The Popular Resistance Committee has identified the two men as members of its group and said in a statement they had embarked on a "mission" against "Israel".
"Israel" and several armed Palestinian groups declared a Gaza ceasefire in November.
The truce that ended a substained "Israeli" military offensive against Palestinian fighters in the territory.
Some militant factions have kept up sporadic cross-border rocket attacks on "Israeli" cities despite the truce.
