One Palestinian was killed and three others were wounded in an Israeli airstrike on Saturday evening targeting the Qarara village to the east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. The attack was followed by machinegun fire and flares in the skies of the area on the eve of Eid al-Adha.
PIC correspondent said that Israeli occupation aircraft fired two rockets at a group of resistance fighters affiliated with the Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad in the Ghawafeer neighbourhood of Qarara village eas of Khan Younis, before opening heavy machinegun fire at the area.
The airstrike and the machinegun fire resulted in the death of Abdullah Muhanna (22 years) and the wounding of three others whose wounds were described as moderate.
The Israeli occupation forces fired a third rocket while the local residents were trying to evacuate the wounded.
Ambulances rushed to the area, and transported the dead man and a wounded man to hospital, while the area was still being searched for other casualties at the time of writing this report.
This attack took place after Israeli media sources claimed that a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip last night and fell in Askalan without causing any injuries.
