Israeli Soldiers Kill Two Militants in Gaza Strip
Middle East • December 2010 • Views: 663
Confrontations between the Israeli army and Gaza militants have recently escalated. At least seven Palestinians have been killed since Dec. 19 in clashes or airstrikes and more than 29 mortar shells and rockets were fired from Gaza at Israel, injuring at least two people. The upturn comes as Israeli- Palestinian peace negotiations remained stalled and reconciliation talks between the Islamic Hamas movement that controls the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian Authority that runs the West Bank are frozen.
