GAZA, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation aggression on the Gaza Strip continued on Friday evening resulting in the death of a Palestinian child and a resistance fighter affiliated with the Quds Brigades and the wounding of ten others including six children and a paramedic.
The bodies of the two martyrs, 10-year-old Mahmoud al-Jarew and resistance fighter Bilal al-Ar’eer, were badly mutilated.
Israeli occupation aircraft carried out four further attacks Friday night resulting in the wounding of a number of people; a drone fired a missile at a group of people near the Khazendar station resulting in casualties, the same place was targeted again by the drone.
Israeli occupation aircraft also fired a rocket at a car in the Radwan neighbourhood in north Gaza City, however the passangers of the car managed to escape just before it was hit and completely destroyed.
A drone fired a rocket at the home of Abu Jalal al-amour to the north east of Rafah causing a number of casualties.
The Qassam Brigades announced earlier the death of one of its field commanders at the Shati refugee camp on Friday afternoon, who was followed by another fighter who succumbed to wounds he sustained in an earlier attack on Friday, bringing the number of martyrs since Thursday to 14 and the number of wounded to at least 60 people.

The Israeli warplanes also bombarded Palestinian greenhouses in the city of Khan Younis.
In Abasan village, east of Khan Younis, the Israeli tanks fired three projectiles at the four-story home of Kudaih family destroying it and wounding the owner of the house.
In Rafah city, south of Gaza Strip, the IOF troops were reportedly cordoning a Palestinian family near the borderline and used them as human shields as they advanced deep into the Strip.
In retaliation to the persistent Israeli aggression on the Palestinian civilians, the Palestinian resistance factions fired a number of home-made rockets and mortars against Israeli targets inside the 1948-occupied Palestinian territories. The Israeli occupation acknowledged the Palestinian retaliation.
The Israeli military escalation against the Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip came immediately after Ehud Barak, the Israeli war minister, gave orders to do so despite the Palestinian factions efforts to calm down the tension.
In a retaliatory attack an RPG fired by Palestinian resistance hit an Israeli bus wounding two.
The Qassam Brigades and medical sources confirmed to PIC that Abdullah al-Farra and Mu’taz Abu Jame’ were killed by an occupation drone at the entrance of Khuza’a to the east of Khan Younis.
Local sources also said that two civilians were wounded in the attack and taken to the European hospital.
Three other civilians were wounded in artillery fire to the east of the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah.
Israeli occupation aircraft carried out a number of airstrikes at dawn Friday, according to local sources which informed PIC that occupation aircraft fired two rockets at a deserted house to the east of Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City belonging to the Hasaneen family and targeted a sentry position to the east of Shejaeyyah, but no casualties were reported.
Five Palestinians, including an elderly man were killed on Thursday in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian factions had agreed not to initiate attacks against the Israeli occupation but for the past several weeks the Israeli occupation have been escalating attacks against the Gaza Strip provoking Palestinian factions into responding to those attacks.
