GAZA, Aug. 25 (Xinhua) -- A 22 years old Palestinian youth died Thursday morning, hours after being wounded in an Israeli airstrike at a sports club in northern Gaza Strip, medical spokesman Adham Abu Selmia said.

Israel carried out a series of raids in Gaza, which late Wednesday hit a car traveling in the Gaza city and killed an Islamic Jihad activist, and early on Thursday killed a smuggler in tunnels beneath Gaza's southern border with Egypt, and the airplanes, afterwards, bombed a sports club run by the Islamic Jihad, killing a group member.

Abu Selmia said 29 Palestinians were wounded in the three attacks. more
