Gaza – Ma’an – Two members of Hamas’ military wing were killed late on
Friday night during a “Jihad mission� east of Al-Bureij Refugee Camp in the
central Gaza Strip, a Hamas statement said.

The statement identified the victims as members of the Al-Qassam Brigades
Osama Kamal Nabaheen and Bakr Jamal Nabaheen from Al-Bureij Camp.

Hamas announced deathd of the two activists over loudspeakers calling on
Gaza residents to participate in their funeral processions on Saturday.

Separately, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine (PFLP), the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, claimed responsibility on
Friday evening for opening fire at Israeli troops east of Beit Hanoun in the
northern Gaza Strip while the soldiers attempted to step out of their
military jeep.

Pledging to continue with “resistance� as long as occupation continues, the
military group asserted in a statement that one soldier was hit.

Ma'an could not independently confirm these claim
