Three more Palestinians, including child, injured in Israeli air strikes


GAZA, (PIC)-- Three Palestinians, among them a child, were injured Saturday as Israeli warplanes carried out several strikes on the Gaza Strip.

The warplanes fired at least one missile around a petrol station at the edge of Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza Strip injuring one man, Palestinian sources said.

He was transported to a local hospital, medical sources said, describing his injuries as minor.

Two others in the Al-Shaja’iyya district of Gaza were injured after being fired at by a reconnaissance plane hovering over the area.

Witnesses said reconnaissance planes struck a civilian vehicle near Muadh ben Jabal school in the Al-Shaja’iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza at noon Saturday.

They added that at least one Palestinian was injured and lost his foot in the strike. In addition, a child was left with minor injuries in the same strike.

Since Thursday, fifteen Palestinians have died and some forty have been injured in a string of Israeli strikes.

Among the casualties was the secretary general of the Popular Resistance Committees Kamal al-Neireb and four members of the same organization during a strike in Rafah in southern Gaza Strip.
