GAZA CITY: Israeli soldiers shot dead two Palestinians on the Gaza Strip Sunday morning, Palestinian and Israeli sources said.
The two died to the east of Khan Yunis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, during an exchange of fire with Israeli soldiers, reported a French news agency.
Israeli soldiers claimed they opened fire on members of a terrorist cell which was trying to place an explosive charge in the immediate vicinity of the security barrier. The barrier separates Israel from the Gaza Strip.
"The incident happened in the south of the Gaza Strip and helicopters backed up the fire of the soldiers," she added.
Israel has stepped their offensive with soldiers received instructions not to hesitate to open fire when they saw terrorists placing booby-trap devices near the barrier."
Israel has launched several air raids, the last early Saturday, which have left at least two people wounded and caused a power cut in Gaza City.
Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, has nevertheless continued to observe its ceasefire against Israel, while warning that is ready to resume fighting if there is an Israeli attack on the territory.
