GAZA, Dec 22: Two Israelis were killed in an attack on a vehicle in the Gaza Strip on Monday, Israeli medics said.
A source said a Palestinian man was shot dead in an ensuing firefight.
Responsibility for the attack at a roadblock near Kissufim, in central Gaza, was claimed by two Palestinian militant groups — the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades linked to the Fatah group, and Islamic Jihad.
Israeli censors barred publication of some key details of the attack.
