GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Abdullah Hasan Makkawi, 25, died on Monday from injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike on the southern Gaza Strip a day earlier, the Ministry of Health said.
Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said Makkawi died in Shifa Hospital. Makkawi was hit while riding his motorcycle in the Brazil neighborhood in Rafah.
Israel said Makkawi was a member of the Ashora Council of the Martyrs of Jerusalem. The raid also targeted Talaat Halil Muhammad Jarbi, a Global Jihad operative involved in firing rockets and manufacturing weapons, the Israeli military said in a statement.
Al-Qidra said 11 people were injuring in the strike on the busy Rafah neighborhood, including five children.
Hamas' military wing Izz Addin Al-Qassam Brigades and the Islamic Jihad's Al-Quds Brigades said they fired rockets at Israeli military bases in response to the airstrike. more
