1 killed, 7 injured as Israeli airstrikes hit Gaza plus a Palestinian teenager shot dead near the border east of Maghazi
Israeli forces have shot dead a Palestinian teenager in the Gaza Strip in the latest round of aggression against the residents of the besieged enclave, Palestinian medical sources say. The teenager, who was said to be 17 years old, was killed late on Tuesday by Israeli gunfire when he came near the border with Israel east of the refugee camp of Maghazi in the central Gaza Strip, AFP reported. This comes as Israeli warplanes launched several airstrikes on different parts of the coastal sliver earlier on the day, killing at least one person and injuring seven others. The Israeli forces fire systematically on Palestinians who approach the border fence separating the Gaza Strip from Israel. One man was killed and seven others injured as Israeli warplanes struck targets in the central and southern Gaza Strip early Tuesday, Palestinian medical sources and the Israeli army said. Adham Abu Selmiya, spokesman for the Hamas-run emergency services in the Gaza Strip, said the strikes had killed one Palestinian and wounded seven. Several people were injured as Israeli forces fired at a group of people in the Az-Zaitoun neighborhood in Gaza City, Palestinian medical sources said. All of the victims were evacuated to Ash-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Mousa Shteiwi, 29, later died from his injuries. Three other Palestinians, including a 6-year-old child, also sustained injuries as an Israeli airstrike hit the border area near Rafah, southern Gaza, medics said. “The outcome of the Israeli aggression during the past 24 hours is now one martyr and seven injured,” Abu Selmiya said. Israeli forces launched air raids in several areas of the coastal enclave after midnight with operations continuing until the early morning Ramadan meal, just before daybreak. Palestinian sources said they counted five air strikes across Gaza. The Israeli army confirmed that airstrikes had hit the coastal enclave. “Overnight, IAF aircraft targeted four targets in the Gaza Strip. Direct hits were confirmed,” a statement said.
