The Israeli regime’s military launched strikes on Tuesday at what it called ‘Hamas Positions’ near Beit Lahia (in northern Gaza strip). The unprovoked tank shelling of Beit Lahia martyred a Palestinian man Mohammed Al-Raid. He was 25 years old, and a member of Hamas.
Eyewitnesses said the tank strike targeted an observation point belonging to an armed group.
A statement by Hamas’s military wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, hailed Rudeia as a “fighter”, an accolade usually only given to its own members.
Separately, on Monday, the health ministry announced the death of a Palestinian injured in clashes with Israeli forces.Nasser al-Areenee, 28, was shot a “number of days ago” east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, the ministry said, without giving further details.
At least 121 Palestinians have been martyred during weeks of unrest since March 30, when Palestinians began their "Great March of Return", calling to be allowed to return to their historic homelands inside Israel.
