Al-Aqsa news agency reports that two Palestinian prisoners were killed in an attack in the Gaza Strip. Al-Ajsa reports that the attack was carried out by a group of Palestinian soldiers.
The incident occurred in the southern part of the city of Rafah, near the border with Egypt. The attack is believed to have taken place at the end of a day-long operation to free the two prisoners, who had been held captive for more than a week. The operation was called off after the release of the prisoners.
