Khan Younis-Ma'an-A Palestinian father, 65 and his son, 45, were killed and another 2 seriously injured in an Israeli air strike on a home in Sheikh Nasser, east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, an activist affiliated to the Al Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, was killed and another one arrested during an armed clash in Al Farahin, east of Khan Younis.
Medical sources at the Nasser hospital said that Hasan Sha'ath, 65, and his son Ibrahim, 45, who were killed in the air strike, were totally dismembered when they were brought to the hospital. They said that the two injured people wwere in a critical condition.
Israeli F16 warplanes destroyed a three-floor building while some members of the Sha'ath family were still inside the house. Ambulance crews and civil defence forces rushed to the demolished house and were able to removed the two dead bodies and the two injured people. They are continuing to search under the rubble for more injured people who are thought to be trapped underneath.
Eyewitnesses said that half the building's residents had left before the bombardment , but several others were unable to leave in time. They pointed out that the Israeli army gave residents very little warning before they bombed the building claiming that it belonged to a member of the Al Aqsa Brigades, the military wing of the Fatah movement.
The Israeli army said that Israeli forces injured two Palestinian gunmen during an armed clash between members of the Palestinian resistance in Al Farahin, east of Khan Younis, and several Israeli forces and military vehicles positioned near the Israeli-Gaza border fence in Khan Younis.
The Israeli army added that Israeli forces fired at Palestinian gunmen attempting to infiltrate into Israel near the Kissufim crossing. Mu'atasim Kdeeh, 20, was killed and another injured. The Israeli forces arrested the injured man whose identity is not known.
Eyewitnesses said that the Palestinian resistance fighters launched one rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) into an Israeli military vehicle, hitting it directly. They added that the armed clash lasted for a long time and a heavy exchange fo fire could be heard.
