Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli air strike on the central Gaza Strip killed a Palestinian man on Tuesday in the first reported casualty of Operation Protective Edge, an emergency services spokesman reports.
“A man named Ashraf Yassin was killed in an Israeli air strike west of Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza,” spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra tells AFP.
Witnesses say the man was a militant of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamist Hamas movement.
Ynet reports that working on Shin Bet intelligence, the IDF struck the home of Hamas operative Mohammed Abdel Rahman Goda. The house was part of the organization’s infrastructure. Palestinian sources say no one was injured in the strike.
