 A 17-year old Palestinian resistance fighter with the Ezzeh el Din brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas party, was shot and killed by Israeli special forces on Friday – bringing the death count this week to twenty.
Awad al-Foujom, 17, was shot in the chest near the Gaza border fence east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. He was taken to Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, where he was pronounced dead on Friday afternoon.
Seven Palestinians were killed just the day before during an Israeli invasion of the northern Gaza Strip. And twenty have been killed over the last week. No Israelis have been killed in that time period, but one Israeli soldier was injured Thursday by a Palestinian homemade shell.
The twenty Palestinians killed since Tuesday of this week were mainly resistance fighters killed by aerial bombings carried out by the Israeli airforce. These bombings resulted in injuries to dozens of civilians, including some who lost limbs.
al_Foujoum's death brings the total number of people killed in the current open conflict, which began in September 2000, to 5,9997 – over 5,000 of which are Palestinians. |
