JABALIA, (PIC)--

Two Palestinian resistance fighters were killed and a third was wounded in an IOF air raid on a group of AMB members in Jabalia north of Gaza Saturday evening while preparing to fire locally made missiles on Sderot to the north of the Gaza Strip.

A spokesman for Ayman Jouda group, affiliated with the AMB the armed wing of Fatah faction, said that Rabi Mohsen and Murad Khader were killed in the missile raid.

Medical sources said that a third wounded Palestinian in the same raid was hospitalized.

IOF artillery shelling before the raid wounded five other citizens while a group of the Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, survived a similar assassination attempt Saturday night.

For its part, the Salahuddin Brigades, the armed wing of the popular resistance committees, fired a Nasser-3 home made missile at Sderot on Saturday night.

The IOF acknowledged that the missile slammed into the settlement but did not inflict any casualties or damage.

Meanwhile, the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said on Saturday that it was daily trying to upgrade its combat capabilities to confront any possible IOF invasion of Gaza.

Abu Obaida, the armed wing's spokesman, said that upgrading rockets was wholly made in Gaza without any foreign involvement. He was thus refuting Hebrew press reports that claimed that Iran was assisting Hamas in developing its rockets.

The spokesman did not rule out an IOF aggression on the Strip following the Arab summit, citing the intensive hovering of IOF reconnaissance planes over the Strip round the clock.
