Four Hamas militants were killed and three others injured in two separate Israeli army attacks in Gaza Strip, security sources said.
Ashraf al-Qedra, the Gaza emergency spokesman, said a 21-year-old Hamas militant, Rabi Baraka, was killed Thursday in an Israeli artillery shell east of the southern Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis, reports Xinhua.
Al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas armed wing in Gaza, said four of its militants were killed overnight in southeastern Gaza Strip.
Baraka was killed in an Israeli army artillery shelling, and later an Israeli warplane struck another group of militants in the same area and killed three other militants Friday morning.
Al-Qedra confirmed that the two Israeli attacks killed four Palestinians.
