GAZA, Aug 24 (KUNA) -- Body of an old Palestinian who died in Israeli air
attacks early on Wednesday was found near the refugee camp of Al-Buraij in the
center of Gaza Strip later in the day.
Adham Abu Silimeh, spokesman of the supreme committee for rescue and
emergency, told KUNA that medics located the corpse of Ismail Amom, 65. His
body was badly disfigured due to shrapnel, he said. It was taken to Al-Aqsa
Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza.
A ranking member of Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic
Jihad group, died and two others were wounded in Israeli attacks that targeted
a civilian car and A motorcycle in Rafah early today.
The raids came hours after the Palestinian factions declared intention to
restore adherence to the truce with Israel. The Israeli Government also
declared that it would not seek escalation action against the Palestinian
groups.
However, Israel declared early today that its forces were put on alert in
anticipation of a new wave of rocket attacks from the Palestinian regions.
