From Al-Jazeera…

Israeli soldiers have shot and killed two Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip as they approached the border fence, a Palestinian group has said.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said soldiers had opened fire on two men near the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya on Saturday.
“They were planting an explosive device near the fence,” she said.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an arm of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction, confirmed two of its fighters were killed while trying to fire mortars into Israel.
A spokesman for the group said the thwarted attack was meant to send a signal that the group had no intention of abiding by the platform of Abbas’s new government in the occupied West Bank.
Spokesman Abu Thaer said: “Our message is that the Zionist occupation is continuing its aggression and therefore the resistance will continue.”
“We tell Fayyad that his platform is a political platform. Palestine was occupied militarily and we will liberate it militarily,” the spokesman added.
A statement issued by Islamic Jihad said: “If Fayyad rejects the choice of resistance, he should pick another people to represent.”
