GAZA, Oct. 30 (Xinhua) -- Two militants were killed and ten others injured after the Israeli army bombarded on Monday a tunnel underneath the borders between Gaza Strip and Israel, medics and security sources said.
Ashraf al-Qedra, spokesman of Gaza health ministry, told reporters that two Palestinians were killed and ten injured, after the Israeli army bombed an area southeast of the Gaza Strip, close to the borders with Israel.
He said that Ahmad Abu Armana, 25 and Omar al-Falit, 27, were both killed and ten injured; one of them is in critical condition.
Security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Israeli army bombarded with bombs a tunnel underneath the borderline area between southeast Gaza Strip and Israel.
They said ten people were stuck for a while into the destroyed tunnel, and contact with them was disconnected, adding that the ten are members of the Islamic Jihad's armed wing, better known as Saraya al-Quds, or al-Quds Brigades.
Earlier on Monday, the Israeli army announced that an underground tunnel that goes from southern Gaza into Israel was blown up and destroyed, adding that the tunnel is 2-kilometer long and it is under construction.
Israel held Islamic Hamas movement responsible for constructing tunnels that are used by militants in the Gaza Strip to carry out attacks from the coastal enclave into Israel.
