IOF soldiers kill citizen in southern Gaza

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired live bullets, an artillery shell, and gas bombs at Palestinians east of Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, on Tuesday killing one of them and wounding four others.

Adham Abu Salmiya, the spokesman for the medical services, told the PIC that Hassan Abul Ruk, 22, was hit with shrapnel in his face and feet and was killed on the spot.

He said that four others were treated for breathing difficulty in the same area.

The IOF killed three citizens in Khan Hounis over the past three day, Abul Ruk and two members of the Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, a couple of days earlier while confronting the IOF advance in the district.
