A Palestinian youth was killed and two others were left wounded at dawn Wednesday in an Israeli onslaught on the blockaded Gaza Strip.
A PIC news correspondent said the Israeli occupation army targeted Palestinian youth in eastern Rafah province south of Gaza Strip with artillery shells. A Palestinian young man was killed right on the spot two others sustained wounds and the rest of the group survived the attack.
Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said medics evacuated the casualty and the wounded youngsters from Rafah’s eastern edges following the onslaught.
In a Facebook statement al-Qudra identified the victim as 18-year-old Youssef Sha’ban Abu Adhara a resident of Rafah city.
According to human rights sources 15 Israeli artillery shells slammed into Rafah’s eastern town of al-Shawka while drones kept hovering over the territory.
The Israeli army claimed the offensive was carried out against a group of Palestinians who attempted to creep into 1948 Occupied Palestine (Green Line).
The offensive falls in with massive military maneuvers carried out by the occupation army in 1948 Occupied Palestine.
