Palestinian medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported that a Palestinian child and a young man were wounded on Friday at dawn, when the Israeli Air Force bombarded a number of areas in the coastal region.

The Palestinian News and Info Agency, WAFA, reported that an Israeli “Apache” chopper fired at least one missile at a residential area west of Beit Lahia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, causing damage to a number of homes, also wounding a resident in his twenties, and a 4-year-old child identified as Hayat Taha.

The two were moved to Kamal Odwan Hospital in Beit Lahia, suffering mild-to-moderate injuries, WAFA reported.

Furthermore, F-16 Israeli jets carried out two airstrikes targeting Jabalia city, and Jabalia An-Nazla, in northern Gaza; damage was reported, and a warehouse caught fire in Jabalia An-Nazla.

The army also carried out several airstrikes targeting areas in Khan Younis and Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, and a fourth airstrike targeting an area in Al-Boreij refugee camp, in central Gaza. more
