This is what Maan is reporting:

Two Palestinian civilians were killed and four others were injured on Tuesday when Israeli helicopters fired on a group of fighters on the road to the disused Yasser Arafat Airport east of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.

What did those civilians exactly do in a group of fighters? Of course the Ezzedeen Alquassam Brigades Information Office mentions only the civilians:

sources reported that the Zionist war planes hit a group of Palestinian civilians east of Rafah city.

Meanwhile the Israel Defense Forces reported:

that IAF jets opened fire at the mortar launching cell and identified a hit.

So whom should we believe?  Maybe the Al Quds site:

Eyewitnesses said the “… and they were resistance fighters that fired several motars.”

This sounds really close to the truth.
