(MENAFN) On Gaza-Egyptian borders, a Hamas security man and a member of Islamist militant group were killed in confrontation.
As Hamas is ruling Gaza Strip, it had intensified patrols on the borders aiming to prevent the momentum of so-called Jihadist Salafis between the territory and the Sinai Peninsula.
The Hamas-run Interior Ministry released a statement saying: "A security force stopped two persons who approached the border. One of them blew himself up and was killed. The other was wounded."
However, security sources said that the militant killed in the blast was a member of a Salafi group.
