Gaza / PNN- Israeli forces continued the assault on the Gaza Strip late Saturday night, killing three Palestinians. This comes after the Israeli "response" to human rights groups condemning them for their treatment of the 1.5 million residents of the Strip in which they blamed the Hamas party for the humanitarian disaster.

The dead are from Saraya Al Quds, the armed resistance wing of Islamic Jihad: a frequent target these days in both the Gaza Strip and West Bank.

The injured were hit by artillery shelling near a school in the northern Strip’s Beit Lahia, one is described to be in “critical condition.” The killings were considered assassinations, conducted in the eastern Gaza City neighborhood of Al Shajaiyeh.

Palestinian medical sources in Gaza City’s Al Shifa Hospital confirmed to PNN that in addition to killing the three people, Israeli forces injured several others. The dead are all in their early twenties.

Their bodies arrived to the hospital “charred and torn to pieces,” as reported by medical authorities.
