GAZA, (PIC)-- Seven Palestinian citizens were wounded to the east of Gaza city on Thursday in Israeli artillery shelling of the area, medical sources reported.
Adham Abu Salmiya, the spokesman for emergency and ambulance services in Gaza, told the PIC reporter that two of the casualties were in serious condition.
He added that three of the wounded were old men, adding that the casualties were taken to Shifa hospital in moderate condition except the above-mentioned two.
The Israeli
occupation forces (IOF) fired a number of artillery shells
at civilian neighborhoods and farmlands east of Shujaia
suburb in Gaza city.
IOF soldiers earlier on Thursday
raided southern and northern Gaza Strip areas, firing at
random and bulldozing land.
Local sources in Khan
Younis, south of the Strip, said that eight IOF armored
vehicles infiltrated 800 meters into Fakhari area and
bulldozed land amidst indiscriminate shooting.
Other
IOF units raided northern Beit Lahia town to the north of
the Strip while firing at farmers tending to their
land.
