New Israeli raids on Gaza kill Palestinian girl, two Qassam fighters

GAZA, (PIC)-- Israeli military raids on northern and eastern Gaza Strip have killed at an early hour Saturday a little Palestinian girl and two Qassam fighters. Palestinian medical sources reported that a 13-year-old girl called Sejoud Al-Dardasawi was killed and three other citizens were wounded during Israeli artillery shelling that targeted Palestinian homes east of Al-Shujaiyeh neighborhood in Gaza city. The sources added that two Palestinian fighters affiliated with Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, were also killed in Jabaliya, northern Gaza. The IOF troops have carried out at least seven military raids on open areas in Gaza this morning including the Palestinian-Egyptian border areas. In a statement received by the PIC, the Hamas Movement stated that that the killing of civilians in their homes, schools, universities and mosques is evidence of Israel's "hysteria and intelligence failure". The statement added that the bombing of civilian areas especially densely populated areas, the ban imposed on the entry of fuel, food and medicine and the huge number of women and children killed reveal the falsehood of Israel's allegations that its military operations target only Hamas.
