GAZA CITY (AFP) — Three Palestinians have been killed on the second day of an Israeli incursion into Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip as the UN expressed alarm that the worsening humanitarian situation there was being sidelined by Israel's ongoing offensive in Lebanon.
Two of the dead were killed by a shell from an Israeli tank which also seriously wounded another man, hospital sources said Friday.
They were Issam al-Bashiti, a member of the Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the governing Hamas movement, and Mohammed Ahmad Shahin. Both were 25 years old.
The third victim died in a dawn Israeli air raid, the medical sources said. Ezzedin Abu Jazzar, 20, was also a member of Hamas's armed wing.
