GAZA CITY-

Israeli air strikes on Friday killed six Palestinians, including one attack on the home of fighter, medical sources said.

Five Palestinians, including a woman and seven-year-old child, died when the fighter’s house in Rafah in southern Gaza was hit, and 15 other people were wounded, Gaza emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said.

Witnesses said the militant, Abdel Razzaq al-Ghannam, was not at home when the attack happened.

An air strike around an hour before killed Anas Abu al-Kass, 33, of Gaza City’s Tel el-Hawa neighbourhood.

According to Qudra, around 95 Gazans have been killed since Israel launched Operation Protective Edge.

No Israelis have been killed from the rocket fire.
