Four Palestinian militants were killed by Israeli border forces near the Gaza border. The military of the Jewish state made it known.

"We identified several Gaza terrorists approaching Israel, armed with AK-47 assault rifles, RPG rocket launchers and grenades, one of which was launched against the soldiers," reads the Twitter defense force profile Israeli.

"Once the terrorists have entered Israel - he continues - our forces have opened fire. The terrorists have been neutralized".

Still on the same profile have been published photos with the arsenal of militants. Gaza is governed by the Islamist movement Hamas and is under Israeli blockade.

The 4 killed were from Hamas
They were all members of Hamas, the four Palestinians killed this morning by the Israeli army on the Gaza border. This was confirmed by local press sources, according to which it would be a cell that dissented from the tacit truce with Israel maintained in recent weeks by the leadership of their movement. The same sources have pointed out that tomorrow the important Islamic sacrifice party begins. This circumstance - the sources add - could have influenced the cell in the conviction that those who immolate themselves in the hours before that event will be remunerated after death.
