Israel killed two Palestinians militants Thursday in a targeted killing in the Gaza Strip. An Israeli air force missile struck a house in the northern Gaza Strip, killing Ayad Nagar and Ziyad Qaddas, militants from the Al-Aksa Brigades, and wounding six others, Palestinian sources told Ha’aretz. The sources said the attack interrupted a meeting between high-ranking members of the Brigades, the terrorist wing of the Palestinians’ ruling Fatah movement. An angry crowd gathered, demanding revenge.
