Two Hamas militants killed in mysterious Gaza blast

GAZA, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Two Palestinian militants were killed Friday evening in a mysterious blast in the al-Bureej refugee camp in central Gaza Strip, medical sources and witnesses said.

The two were members of Hamas' military wing, the sources said, adding that they were brothers who were killed near the security fence that divides between Gaza and Israel to the east of the refugee camp.

The two brothers, Osama and Bakar al-Nabahin, were killed in "a Jihadist mission", the sources said, without specifying what kind of mission was.

Witnesses said the brothers were planting explosives near the fence but the bombs went off prematurely, killing both of them.

Israel and Hamas do not observe an official ceasefire but maintain a level of quietness in the coastal strip. Other groups have accused Hamas, which controls Gaza, of preventing their fighters from firing rockets towards Israel.
