PALESTINIAN MAN KILLED BY ISRAELI DRONE ATTACK IN GAZA

Gaza, 6 Rabi’ul Awwal 1435/8 January 2014 (MINA) – A Palestinian man, aged 32, was killed on Wednesday by Israeli drones in Eastern Gaza City.

Dr. Ashraf al-Qudra, spokesperson of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, said that the remnants of the martyr Mohammed Salameh al-Ajla, 32, have been brought to al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Saraya al-Quds (al-Quds Brigades), the military wing of the Islamic Jihad, announced that the martyr al-Ajla was one of its cadres.

Later on, tanks positioned behind the border fence shelled the area, Palestine News Network reported as cited by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA)

Two children were injured and brought to the hospital, their condition was described as “dangerous”.

He said that the drone landed and crashed due to a “malfunction”, an issue that the resistance challenged.

In related news, Israeli sources said that Israeli Defense Minister, Moshe Yaalon, and a number of senior military leaders, survived a possible attack by Palestinian fighters as the official toured in the border tunnel that was uncovered by the army a month ago, leading to a settlement across the border. 

The sources said that, despite the fact that the army said it defused the explosives in the tunnel, a bomb was still active, but did not explode. 

Yaalon and the army commanders visited the tunnel on October 29, and two days later, the bomb exploded as soldiers of the corps of engineers were inspecting the tunnel, leading to five injuries. 

Israel said that the bomb was in the runnel visited by Yaalon, and that it could have exploded at any given moment, but it exploded the next day, and that the army started a classified investigation into the issue. (T/P012/P04)
