Islamic Jihad says two of its members killed in Israeli strike on Gaza

Two Islamic Jihad terrorists were killed by an Israeli strike in the Gaza Strip early today, the Islamist group says.

Mahmoud Issa and Fawzy Bwadi were killed during an Israeli “bombardment in the central Gaza Strip,” a statement says, hailing them as fighters.

Six Palestinians and an Israeli have been reported killed since a flareup in violence began yesterday, including a Gazan mother and baby whom Israel says were killed by a failed missile launch by terror groups.

Israel says some 430 rockets have been fired from the coastal enclave since yesterday and it has responded with waves of air and tank strikes.
