GAZA (PIC)– A senior leader of the Qassam Brigades the armed wing of Hamas was killed and 10 other Palestinians were wounded during Israeli aerial raids on different areas in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Qassam Brigades stated that one of its prominent leaders called Issa Batran 40 was killed at dawn Saturday when Israeli warplanes bombed an area in the Nuseirat refugee camp central Gaza.
It said that Batran joined his wife and five children who were killed in a deadly raid on his house during the last Israeli war on Gaza.
Israel escalated its military actions against Gaza on Friday evening and carried out four air raids on Gaza city the central province and Rafah tunnels.
Director of the health ministry’s emergency unit Muawiya Hassanein told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that the medical crews evacuated eight security men and two civilians a children and an aged man after a raid on the headquarters of Palestinian security forces west of Gaza city.
This military aggression on Gaza took place after Abbas managed to receive a green light from Arab states for his direct negotiations with Israelis while most of the Palestinian factions reject any peace talks with Israel.
For his part Dr. Ahmed Bahar the first deputy speaker of the Palestinian legislative council (PLC) strongly denounced the Arab League for giving Abbas the go-ahead to restart his direct talks with Israelis warning that the next stage could witness a widespread Israeli escalation.
Dr. Bahar said in a press statement on Friday that the Arab League would not have dared to take such a decision without the full consent of Abbas’s authority.
He pointed out that the Arab League always reflects the defeatist positions of the Arab regimes which joined the Zio-American axis and legalized all forms of political degradation in order to protect their existence.
The lawmaker stressed the need for confronting the policies pursued by Abbas’s authority which desecrated all national rights constants and values.
