Two Hamas activists killed by Israeli strike

Gaza (Reuters) .- Two members of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) have died following an Israeli air attack on the Gaza Strip, sources in the organization. Israel's army has indicated that it is investigating these reports. Tension has risen in the last hours in the Gaza Strip. Hamas's armed wing, Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades fired antitank missile on Thursday into a school bus injuring two people, one of which, a young man just 16 years, is in critical condition.

Five Palestinians died later because of the response of the Israeli Army, ordered by Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Hamas on Thursday announced a unilateral ceasefire starting at 23:00 hours (one hour behind mainland Spain) in the Gaza Strip, for which he has asked other groups to suspend their attacks on Israeli territory.
