Islamic Jihad says members killed carrying out ‘jihadist mission’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Islamic Jihad’s terrorist group says the two Palestinian men who were killed earlier this afternoon in northern Gaza died while on a “jihadist mission.”
The statement does not explicitly blame Israel for their deaths, while earlier Palestinian reports had said the two were killed by an Israeli drone strike.
The Israeli army denied any involvement in the incident.
The two killed were identified as 25-year-old Hussein Nasrallah and 29-year-old Mustafa a-Sultan.
