Two Palestinians killed in Gaza

Gaza City: Two Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday with authorities in the territory blaming a strike by the Israeli occupation forces, but the regime’s military immediately denied the claim.

Palestinian health ministry spokesman Ashraf Al Qudra told AFP the two men were killed “in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza after an Israeli strike targeted a motorcycle”.

The Israeli occupation army denied it, saying in a statement “contrary to Palestinian reports earlier today, the [occupation force] did not attack the northern Gaza Strip”.
