The al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad’s armed wing, say a Palestinian who was severely wounded by Israeli fire yesterday in the southern Gaza Strip and later succumbed to his wounds is one of its members.
“Saraya al-Quds announces the death of its martyr Mousa Abdelal,” the Islamic Jihad-linked Palestine Today reports, adding that he was hit while “performing his duty in fighting against the occupation’s aggression.”
Earlier yesterday, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said Abdelal was 22.
Since yesterday, armed groups in Gaza have fired more than 400 rockets and other projectiles at southern Israel, according to the IDF.
Meanwhile, the army has targeted dozens of sites operated by the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups, the IDF says.
