Israeli raid kills a Palestinian, wounds 7 others northern Gaza

A Palestinian was killed and at least six others were wounded on Wednesday due to Israeli air strike at the city of Beit Lahiya in northern the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources said.

The sources added that Khalid Shalan was killed as the Israeli warplanes struck a motorcycle near Al-Tawba mosque in Beit Lahiya city north of Gaza.

One of the wounded people was seriously injured because of the Israeli raid, according to the sources.

In a telephone conversation with RAMATTAN, Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad movement, indicated that Shalan is one of its militants, confirming his death.

The Brigades added that another one of its militants was critically wounded after targeting them by the Israeli warplanes.

Earlier, the Israeli jets launched several raids on some tunnels along the borderline between Egypt and Gaza without causing casualties.

Yesterday, seven Palestinian citizens were injured due to suffocation after the Israeli warplanes struck a number of tunnels in the city of Rafah south of Gaza.
