Three Islamic Jihad members killed in two incidents in Gaza

By Haaretz Service and Agencies

Israel Defense Forces troops killed three Islamic Jihad militants Thursday, in two incidents in the Gaza Strip.

IDF soldiers shot dead an armed militant near the border with Israel, said ambulance workers who retrieved his body.

An IDF spokesman said troops shot the man as he approached the border fence south of the Kissufim crossing point and tried to plant explosives.

Islamic Jihad, in a text message sent to reporters, confirmed the man was a member of the militant group and said he was shot while approaching the border with Israel.

The group identified the man as 21-year-old Yussef Kabalan.

Earlier Thursday, an Israel Air Force strike on a car in southern Gaza killed two militants, witnesses and security sources said.

An IDF spokesman confirmed that the IAF struck the vehicle on the road between the towns of Khan Yunis and Rafah, saying the occupants were "terrorists who were planning to carry out attacks."

Medical sources said the dead were members of Islamic Jihad.

On Wednesday, two other members of the Islamic Jihad were wounded when the IAF struck a car in Gaza. Another missile hit a car carrying gunmen from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, the armed wing of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement.

The IAF frequently target suspected Gaza militants in air strikes, part of a campaign against militants firing rockets from northern Gaza at Israel.

Israel has stepped up its offensive against Palestinian militants in Gaza lately to try to prevent the rocket attacks and pressure armed groups to free the IDF soldier abducted in June.
