GAZA (PIC)– Eight PA security men from the National Security Forces were killed when IOF tanks stationed at the eastern borders of Gaza Strip unleashed at least two projectiles at their vehicles believing they were Hamas fighters.
According to a statement issued by the NSF the eight security men were martyred due to intensive IOF bombarding at the headquarters of the NSF fourth battalion in the area.
Palestinian hospital sources however affirmed that at least 15 wounded Palestinians had arrived to the hospital with gunshots on their bodies due to the IOF assault.
Earlier in the morning elements from the NSF ambushed and killed Ibrahim Maneyya 45 the Hamas’ field commander in the Shujaia suburb east of Gaza city prompting fierce armed clashes between fighters from the Qassam Brigades the armed wing of Hamas and killers of Maneyya.
The NSF statement furthermore added that elements of the NSF decided to retreat to an area close to the delineation line after the clashes apparently to seek a help from the IOF troops stationing at the eastern borders of the Strip before being hit and killed with the Israeli tank shells on the presumption they were members of the QB.
In addition well-informed Palestinian security sources revealed to the PIC that a number of Maneyya’s killers had fled to the Karni crossing point and sought the help of the IOF troops stationing there and appealed for protection and transport to the 1948-occupied Palestinian lands.
But in spite of the IOF admission to killing the eight NSF members as revealed by the Hebrew radio elements of the vandal groups within Fatah faction insisted that Hamas is to blame for the killing.
