The sources identified the resident as Awni Abu Taha, 45. He was seriously wounded after he suffered a gunshot injury to his head and died on Monday at noon.

He was looking through his window when an Israeli soldier fired at him and injured him in the head. He died at the Gaza- European shortly after he was announced clinically dead.

On Sunday, the Israeli army killed four Palestinian fighters and injured 15 residents during an invasion into eastern Rafah. Three of the killed were members of the Salah Ed Deen  brigades of the Popular Resistance Committees and the fourth is a member of the Al Qassam brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.
