Israel said to hit Gaza mosque; Palestinian dies of wounds
Palestinians say Israel hit a mosque in the al-Zeytoun neighborhood of Gaza City, in the latest bombardment of the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, a young Palestinian, who was wounded by the Israeli army in the West Bank city of Hebron at a protest against the Israeli offensive in Gaza, died from his injuries Saturday, a Palestinian medic says.
“Nader Edriss, 22, died Saturday morning from his wounds at Hebron’s Al-Mizan hospital,” the medic tells AFP.
