Palestinian resistance hits Israeli army
Thursday 23 September 2004
Palestinian resistance fighters have killed at least three Israeli soldiers guarding an illegal Jewish settlement in the occupied Gaza Strip.
A spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) said on Thursday that it was responsible for the attack near the Morag colony north of Rafah city.
A PRC spokesman said two of its members had also been killed during the attack but that a third survived the clash and had phoned in details of the operation.
Israeli security sources confirmed there were casualties but refused to say who had died.
However, an official at the settlement, Nissim Dehan, told Israel's Army Radio that troops had "suffered a heavy blow".
