BEIT LAHIA (PIC)– An Israeli air raid on northern Gaza killed an Islamic Jihad activist and wounded another at dawn Saturday sources in the Jihad’s armed wing told the PIC.
They said that Mahmoud Fattuh was killed and another Quds Brigades member was seriously injured in the Israeli warplanes shelling of a car they were riding in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.
The sources said that the martyr was a member of the armed wing’s missile unit and vowed reprisal to the “cowardly assassination”.
Fattuh is the fourth Jihad member to be killed and the fifth in Palestinian resistance lines within the few past days in a clear indication of the Israeli military escalation against the Gaza Strip.
Israeli gunboats on Friday opened machinegun fire at Palestinian fishing boats on the Khan Younis and Rafah beaches in southern Gaza but no casualties were reported.
Israeli warplanes on Thursday night renewed their shelling of the border area between the Strip and Egypt.
Earlier on Thursday Israeli warplanes fired a number of rockets at a Quds Brigades unit killing three of its members and wounding citizens who were passing nearby.
