The attack was apparently carried out by an unmanned drone, and was immediately followed by artillery shells.

The slain resident was identified as Bassam Badwan, 29, while another resident was wounded.

Badwan died of his wounds after his legs were severed from his body and due to numerous wounds to other parts of his body.

Medics are trying to coordinate with the Red Cross in order to be allowed to enter the area to search for residents who could have been wounded during the shelling as local sources reported that two more residents were wounded.

The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), said that Badwan is one of its members.
