Israeli military forces killed two Palestinian militants along the border fence in the northern Gaza Strip on Thursday (December 2), the Israeli army said in a written statement.
"Israeli aircraft and tanks fired at armed Palestinians near Israel's security fence on the Gaza border," the written statement from the army continued.
According to the Israeli army, the bodies of two armed men belonging to the Islamic Jihad militant group were retrieved from the border by Israeli troops.
So far, no Palestinian group has made any comment on the incident.
Israel has said it holds Islamist group Hamas that controls the coastal enclave responsible for any attacks against the Jewish state. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
