GAZA, (PIC)-- Palestinian medical sources said that six Palestinians were wounded on Friday in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israeli occupation strikes on in the central and southern Gaza Strip.

Medical services coordinator, Adham Abu Selmeyyah, said in a special statement to PIC that the Aqsa Martyrs Hospital received on Friday at noon four casualties, including two women, from the same family who were wounded when their home in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip was shelled. He added that their wounds were moderate.

He also said that a girl and a young man were treated at Naser hospital for light wounds they sustained as a result of an Israeli occupation airstrike that targeted east Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

In addition to the two air strikes carried out by the Israeli occupation against targets in the central and southern Gaza Strip which resulted in casualties, the PIC correspondent said that a number of airstrikes were also carried out near the Kisofim crossing.

The Israeli escalation came soon after Israeli claims that a Grad rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip targeting western Negev.

Israeli Air Occupation Forces Strike Gaza Strip

20/11/2010 Israeli Air Forces carried out strikes on Gaza strip Friday after noon, both Palestinian and Israeli sources said.

Palestinian sources reported that the Air Force bombed two targets in the Gaza Strip Friday afternoon, adding that six people were injured in the strikes – including two women and a child. An unoccupied building in Deir al-Balah collapsed upon being hit, and two other strikes took place in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis.

For its part, Israeli occupation sources said in a statement that the strike “was carried out in response to the rockets and mortar shells fired at the western Negev over the past day," adding that the army was holding Hamas responsible for the attacks.

Earlier, before the Israli strike, four bombs were launched into the occupied territories on Friday along with three mortar shells.
Three of the shells hit open areas in the Eshkol Regional Council, and the other four, fired an hour later, landed in open areas in the Ashkelon Coast Regional Council. There were no reports of injuries or damage.

The Popular Resistance Committee's Salah al-Din Brigades claimed responsibility for the fire, saying it was a response to recent assassinations in Gaza.

Abu Mujahed, a PRC spokesman in Gaza, said that "the firing by Palestinian organizations from the Gaza Strip is part of our right to respond to the Israeli crimes and the recent assassinations."
