An IDF military spokesman said the Israel Air Force "targeted and identified hitting three terrorists on their way to launch rockets into southern Israel".
The spokesperson said the three men were seen unloading a large number of rockets that they were preparing to launch into Israel. The IDF said the men were from the same rocket crew that fired the Qassams that struck Israel on Rosh Hashana.
The Islamic Jihad militant group said the gunmen from its group were killed near the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

War crime! Rape of Palestine and so on and so forth!
I smell cooperation between hamas and Israel
Islamic Jihad pollutes young men's minds to reject a two state solution and fire on Jewish men, women and children. Hamas winks at them at lets them operate as its surrogate. The net result of this vile ideology and political/military scheming: (1) Hamas and Islamic Jihad continue utterly unconcerned. (2) Three familise will now and forever mourn their lost young men. It's an old story. The ideologues call the tune, and nameless families pay the price.
The poor soul is so biased that she can't read straight. Her eyes may see the words but her mind cannot accept Israeli published news.
just cause you are so chosen does not make you lies anything less than dogshit
its something called intelligence. Maybe one day you will be able to grasp the concept.
.... but for those Palestinian militants willing to fire the Quassams into Israeli populated areas in order to kill in cold blood and intentionally as many innocents civilians as possible, IDF strike wouldn't have occurred in the first place for sure!. Of course, the Arab side will immediately condemn Israel, while keeping silent about the causes of the IDF strike...as usual.
'The Islamic Jihad militant group said the gunmen from its group were killed near the Jabalya refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip' Already admitted to. Your problem is that we tell the truth and you can't read.
Every time the Israeli air strikes kill Gazas, they always, every time, without fail, manage to kill "militants about to fire rockets into Israel" In this case it was even more definitive; the three Gazans killed were identified from the air by the IAF as being the same men who recently fired other rockets into Israel. We can only say, that IAF is thorough.
