2 dead in Israeli strike on Gaza

GAZA CITY (Ma’an) Published today (updated) 18/01/2012 14:15 — Israeli forces opened fire on the northern Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing two people and seriously injuring at least two others, witnesses and medics said.

The health ministry in Gaza said Muhammad Shaker Abu Odeh was pronounced dead at the scene. Ahmad Al-Zaaneen, 17, died shortly after the strike in hospital. Two others were seriously injured.

An Israeli military official said the attack targeted a “terrorist squad” planting an explosive device on the border.

Witnesses told Ma’an that planes and tanks fired at least four times toward the city.

Medics said ambulances were not initially able to reach the scene due to the continuous fire and heavy shooting. One of the ambulances sustained damage, according to health officials.

A statement from the Israeli army said it targeted “a terrorist squad that was planting an explosive device near the security fence in the northern Gaza Strip. Hits were confirmed.”

The statement continued: “An explosion was identified, originating from the explosive device the terrorists attempted to plant near the security fence with the intention of harming IDF soldiers.”

IMEMC Reports:

” An army spokesperson stated that the hits were confirmed after they spotted the “terrorist squad” operating near the border, and that the cart exploded during the strike, indicating that the men were planning on planting explosives. The spokesperson added that “The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians or Israeli Defence Forces soldiers, and will operate against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israel.”

But Leibovich tweets they were planting explosives:

Than, after a question she even repeats her lie again:

IMEMC Report goes on:

“Mohammed was killed instantly at the scene, with conflicting reports suggesting their either two or three members of the group were also injured, with Ahmad dying shortly after. Medical sources claimed that initially, due to the heavy firing, the ambulances were delayed in reaching the scene, and health officials claim one of the ambulances sustained damage.”

And while Leibovich already concluded the men would be terrorists, the family claims the men were out to put bird traps.
