Three Israeli soldiers, one Palestinian killed, one survived a joint operation for Hamas and Islamic Jihad

Three days after what is described as "the barbaric raid carried out by the Israeli warplanes against Gaza," two fighters from Hamas and the Islamic Jihad movement succeeded in breaking the Israeli Natsareim settlement despite the strong security measures around it, and opened their fire at the Israeli soldiers and as a result three of them were killed and two wounded. One of the Palestinian escaped and the other was murdered.

The Israeli army said that one Palestinian armed man at least sneaked to Natsareim settlement which is subjected to tough guarding yesterday at dawn and opened fire before he was killed by the soldiers.

The spokesman said that the three killed are soldiers including two female soldiers. It added that two other soldiers are wounded, one of them is in a critical condition.
