Two Palestinians Killed by Israeli Rocket in Gaza

Two Palestinians were killed Friday by the blast of an Israeli rocket which was fired before Friday but unexploded at that time at the Jewish settlement of Netzarim in central Gaza, witnesses said.

One Palestinian was killed on the spot when he tried to pull out the rocket, half of which was in the ground, and the other died in hospital.

So far, there were no clashes between the Israeli soldiers at the settlement and Palestinians nearby, although the militant Palestinian Hamas group had declared Friday as a "Day of Rage" to mark the death of Palestinians in clashes with Israeli forces recently.
