8 Palestinians martyred in Gaza

Palestinian medical sources reported on Friday at night that eight Palestinians were martyred and several others were injured when Zionist regime's air force fired missiles at the house of one of the leaders of the Islamic Jihad in Al Boreij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Eyewitnesses reported that the shelling targeted the house of Ayman Fayid, 42, one of the leaders of the Al Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad movement. The house completely collapsed over its residents due to the shelling.

On its website, the Al Quds Brigades confirmed that Fayid was martyred in the strike and that six members of his family were injured in addition to dozens of injuries among residents of nearby houses.

Dr. Moawiya Hassanen, head of the Emergency Unit at the Palestinian Ministry of Health, said that eight residents were confirmed dead and 40 others were injured, 10 seriously.

The Al Quds Brigades vowed fierce retaliation to this attack and to the ongoing Israeli attacks and violations.
