Palestinian fighter killed, two citizens wounded in IOF missile shelling
[ 20/12/2008 - 10:33 AM ]

BEIT LAHIA, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces fired a land-to-land missile on Saturday morning at a group of Palestinians in Beit Lahia north of the Gaza Strip killing Ali Hijazi, a member of the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades the armed wing of Fatah faction, and wounding two others.

Dr. Muawiya Hassanein, the director of ambulance and emergency in the health ministry, told PIC in a telephone contact that the IOF troops fired one missile that turned Hijazi's body into mutilated remains and injured two others.

He said that the shelling reflected the IOF savagery, pointing to the remains of Hijazi's body.

Witnesses said that the IOF troops fired another missile later on to inflict more victims among the citizens who rushed to evacuate the casualties.

Meanwhile, the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas Movement, held the IOF responsible for the consequences of any aggression on the Gaza Strip.

It said in a communiqué on Friday that the calm agreement ended at an early hour on Friday, holding the "Zionist enemy" responsible for violating and aborting the lull.

"Our reprisal to any IOF aggression would be painful," the armed wing warned, adding that it would continue to defend the Palestinian people in face of Zionist aggression.

In the West Bank, IOF soldiers claimed burning a number of locally made explosive devices in a deserted home in Qabatia village, Jenin district, at dawn Saturday which led to the destruction of the house.

In Bil'in village, Ramallah district, villagers along with foreign sympathizers marched in the village streets after the Friday congregation in their weekly protest march against IOF confiscation of their lands to build the separation wall.

IOF soldiers entrenched behind cement blocs fired rubber bullets and gas canisters at the demonstrators wounding eight of them including a 15-year-old child while tens were treated on site for suffocation.
