Islamic Jihad says 3rd Palestinian killed in Israeli air raid was one of its fighters

The al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad’s armed wing, says a Palestinian killed by Israeli fire on Monday in the southern Gaza Strip was one of its members, the Islamic Jihad-linked Palestine Today reports.

“Saraya al-Quds announces the death of its martyr Hamad Muhmmed Musa al-Nahal,” the Palestine Today report says, adding that he was killed while “performing his duty in fighting against the occupation’s aggression.”

Earlier on Monday, the Hamas-run Health Ministry said Nahal was 23.

In the past two hours, armed groups in Gaza fired more than 200 rockets and projectiles at southern Israel, according to the IDF.

Meanwhile, the army has targeted upwards of 20 sites operated by the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups, the IDF says.
