Another Palestinian killed in Israeli airstrike in east Gaza
Another Palestinian has been killed in a fresh Israeli airstrike in the east of the Gaza Strip, bringing to nine the number of Palestinians killed over the past three days.
Also earlier on Wednesady, an Israeli warplane targeted a Palestinian man, riding on a motorcycle, in southern Gaza 's Rafah on the border with Egypt, medics said, adding another person was also wounded.
Nine Palestinians, including two teenagers, have so far been killed and five others injured in a series of airstrikes carried out by Israeli warplanes against the 1.6 million people living in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli regime’s military frequently bombs the Gaza Strip, claiming the actions are being conducted for defensive purposes. However, disproportionate force is always used, in violation of international law, and civilians are often killed or injured.
Gaza has been blockaded since 2007, causing a decline in the standard of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty.
Last week, fifty international aid groups and UN agencies urged the Israeli regime to open borders of Gaza, saying the blockade has harmed Gazans.
