IOF aerial raid kills Qassam fighter, wounds three others

A member of the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas Movement, was killed on Tuesday in an IOF aerial bombing that targeted his group in Zaitun suburb, Gaza city, while three others were wounded.

The IOF aggression on Gaza since the early morning hours thus claimed three lives so far including a 13-year-old child, while a fourth Palestinian was killed in the West Bank.

Qassam and Shifa hospital sources said that Mohammed Abu Odeh was killed when an IOF warplane fired a missile at his group while confronting the IOF incursion.

Two other Qassam fighters were wounded earlier today in the same area also in a similar aerial bombing.

The Qassam fighters fired two RPGs at an IOF bulldozer and four mortar shells at the advancing forces that were bulldozing large cultivated areas.

Meanwhile, in Al-Khalil a number of Jewish settlers fired at and wounded a 30-year-old Palestinian who was on his way home south of Al-Khalil city.

Witnesses reported that Jawad Idkaidik was carried to hospital last night after the incident.
