The cubs were born less than a week after the first anniversary of the eight-day conflict between Hamas and Israel in November 2012.
"The lioness gave birth yesterday (Monday) to two cubs, one male and one female," said Nahed al-Majdub, head of the "Bissan" amusement park, set up by the Hamas-run interior ministry.
"They were named Fajr and Sijil," said Majdub, Arabic for dawn and clay.

"It is the first time lions have been born in the Gaza Strip," Majdub said, adding that the cubs' parents were imported from Egypt four years ago.
