Israel targets food tunnels, kills two

Gaza medics said Sunday morning they retrieved the body of a second Palestinian killed when Israel’s air force struck the southern Strop overnight Saturday, officials said.

Gaza medical services spokesman Adham Abu Silmiyya said the body of 19-year-old Khalil Muhammad Al-Hattab from Al-Bureij refugee camp was found in the tunnel area in Rafah. One person is still missing following the airstrike, he added.

The Israeli air force struck three sites late Saturday evening along the border between Egypt and the southern Strip.

Earlier, Abu Slimiyya said the body of 35-year-old Khalid Abdul-Karim Al-Khatib from the Bureij refugee camp was evacuated from the site of the air raids and transferred to the Abu Yousef An-Najjar Hospital in Rafah.

A Gaza Health Ministry spokesman said three injured also arrived at Abu Yousef An-Najjar Hospital and the An-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis respectively, shortly after the airstrikes on tunnels in the As-Salam neighborhood of that city and the nearby Khan Younis area.
