The Palestinian health ministry said that two Palestinian teenagers were killed on Saturday night in an Israeli artillery attack on Rafah area south of the Gaza Strip.
According to a spokesman for the health ministry the victims are Salem Mohamed Sabbah and Abdullah Ayman Sheikha both aged 17 and from al-Salam neighborhood in Rafah.
Israeli tanks last night fired several projectiles at a group of boys in Rafah while the Israeli occupation army justified its crime by claiming that the kids were trying to cross the border security fence into Israel (the 1948 occupied lands).
The Israeli shelling of Rafah was part of a spate of overnight artillery and aerial attacks on different areas of Gaza on Saturday.
The Israeli army claimed its attacks were in response to the detonation of an explosive device at a group of its soldiers as they were patrolling a border area inside southern Gaza.
