Two Palestinian Authority Arab terrorists died in IAF air strikes in Gaza on Tuesday, as well as two civilians, including a 13-year-old boy and a 32-year-old farmer, according to local sources. The farmer, who was earlier reported to be in critical condition, later died of his wounds in the early evening, according to local medical personnel.

In both cases, the civilians were killed because they were standing near the groups of terrorists who were being targeted in the attacks at the time.  In the case of the teenager, the terror cell was in the process of launching a rocket attack on Israel when IAF pilots fired at the terrorists. In the case of the farmer, the terrorists had fired mortar attacks at Israeli communities from his lands a short while before.
