Gaza – Ma'an –

Israeli warplanes killed four Palestinians in the Gaza Strip Sunday morning, including three factory workers. An intense bombardment left dozens of others wounded, many of them within a half hour of bombardment.

Israeli Occupation forces shelled the town of Beit Hanoun, at the northern end of the Gaza Strip, killing a twenty-five-year-old Islamic Jihad Al-Quds Brigades fighter named Hisham Khaddoura. A twenty-three-year-old Al-Quds Brigades activist named Muhammad Abid was injured.

Other wounded Palestinians could not be evacuated because Israeli bombardment made areas in and around Beit Hanoun inaccessible to medical crews.

Medical officials said the bodies of the three factory workers were "cut into pieces" when they arrived at Al-Udwan and Al-Awda hospitals in northern Gaza. The bodies were identified as forty-year-old Zaher Al-Ar, his eighteen-year-old son Yousef Al-Ar, and twenty-three-year-old Muhammad Abu Hrbeid.

The Interior Ministry in the de facto government of the Gaza Strip condemned the attack, calling on the international community to pressure the Israeli government to cease what it sees as aggression against the Palestinian people.

One Palestinian fighter was killed in an Israeli airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday.
