Gaza – Ma'an, 19.1.08 (9,44) – Two Palestinian activists affiliated to Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades were killed and three others injured in an Israeli air raid on a group of fighters who attempted to stop the infiltration of an Israeli force into Izbat Abed Rabbo in Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, on Saturday morning. Early on Saturday, more than 40 Israeli military tanks entered Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip from the east, destroying Palestinian homes.

Muawiya Hassanain, the director of ambulance and emergency services in the Palestinian health ministry named the victims as Eyhab Al-Banna and Ali Jum'a. He added that three wounded were taken to hospital.

In the same regard, another Al-Qassam activist twenty-one-year-old Shadi Qteifan has died of wounds he sustained two days ago east of Gaza City.
