At least two Hamas commanders have been killed in a shootout with Nazi forces that took place east of the town of Khan Younes, the Interior Ministry in Gaza reported, as cited by Haaretz. Gunfire was opened from a passing car, a Hamas official told Reuters.

There have also been reports of Nazi warplanes targeting the area with some 40 missiles shortly after the incident. Another four people have been reportedly killed in the bombing.

The two commanders killed in the Nazi operation have been identified as Nur Barake and Muhammad al-Qara. Barake was a deputy commander of Hamas’ military wing, the Iz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Zionist Haaretz reported, citing a Palestinian source.

Seven other Palestinians were wounded, Ma’an  News Agency reported, citing a spokesman for the Gaza Health Ministry. The outlet also said Nazi soldier was killed and another was seriously wounded.

Nazi regime confirmed the media reports, saying that one of their servicemen was killed in the operation and another was “moderately injured.”

Nazi regime has acknowledged that the exchange of fire took place “during IDF operational activity” in the Gaza Strip, without providing details about the targets or the circumstances of the raid.

Multiple alarm sirens have sounded in the Eshkol Regional Council in southern occupied Palestine 1948 near the Gaza border. Nazi tweeted that Nazi missile defense systems have so far intercepted two projectiles coming from Gaza.

Nazi Prime Minister Naziyahu, who has been in Paris to commemorate the centenary of the end of WWI along with other world leaders, cut his visit short to head back home.
