Israel kills more two Palestinians in Gaza
Palestine-Israel, Military, 2/8/2006

Amid continued political moves on the Palestinian arena, on the formation of the new government which will be led by the Islamic resistance movement Hamas, the Israeli occupation forces continued bombardment and assassination operations in the West Bank and Gaza so as the number of Palestinians killed during the three past days increased to 11.

In one of the most recent developments concerning the Israeli escalation, two Palestinians were killed in an air strike targeting a car which was carrying them in Gaza on Tuesday evening.

Witnesses said that the car was for al-Aqsa martyrs groups of the Palestine national liberation Movement (Fatah) and that the two men are Suheil Baker and Muhammad Abu Sharia, while the Israeli army admitted targeting activists from al-Aqsa group in the attack.

The Islamic Jihad movement deplored the operations launched by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinian activists. The occupation forces had assassinated Ahmad Raddad, the leading figure in al-Quds Saraya (Jerusalem groups), the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, earlier in the day on Tuesday during an incursion in Nablus in the West Bank.

The leading figure in the movement Khaled al-Batsh said that the occupation continues what it described killing the Palestinian resistance especially the leaders of al-Quds (Jerusalem) groups, denying simultaneously that his movement had changed its political or resistance position.

However, one Israeli air raid against Jabalia, north of Gaza, on Monday evening resulted also in killing two activists from al-Aqsa group of the Fatah movement.

This Israeli raid came hours after thousands of Palestinians eulogized in Gaza two killed Palestinians from Saraya al-Quds, assassinated by Israel in an air raid against al-Zeitoun quarters in Gaza on Sunday evening.

Israel had assassinated three activists from al-Aqsa martyrs groups in a similar air raid two days before. Palestinians killed in this raid were four as one al-Aqsa group activist died later because of his wounds.
