Palestinian medical sources have reported that a Palestinian woman was killed, on Thursday evening, after the Israeli army fired shells into Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

The sources said that Zeina al-‘Amour, 55, was killed after the Israeli army fired artillery shells into the al-Fakhari area, east of Khan Younis. One Palestinian, identified as Khozeima al-Farra, 21, was injured in the bombardment.

Medics rushed her to the Gaza European Hospital where she died of her very serious wounds. Several Palestinians were also injured in the Israeli bombardment.

The Israeli army also fired many shells into Palestinian agricultural lands and buildings, in different parts of southern Gaza, especially east of Rafah, wounding at least one Palestinian.

Palestinian resistance groups responded by firing several mortars into Israeli areas, close to the border with Gaza.

The Israeli air force carried out four strikes into agricultural lands in the Abu ar-Roos area, and one strike into ar-Rayyan area, in addition to firing at least one missile into a site, run by the Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas, west of Rafah.
