Story Text: Two Hamas members were killed in an Israeli air strike east of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip in the early hours of Friday (April 11), according to Hamas and medical officials.
The attack was on an outpost near the town close to the border between Gaza and Israel.
The bodies of the two militants were taken to the Nasser hospital in Khan Younis.
The air strike came just hours after Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert warned Hamas would not be allowed to carry out attacks on Israelis after two civilians were killed at an oil terminal in Israel that pumps fuel into the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip.
