A PALESTINIAN man was killed and two other people were wounded in an Israeli air raid in the southern Gaza Strip overnight, Palestinian sources said. No one was hurt in a separate attack in the northern Gaza Strip, sources added. "Bassam bin Hamad, 30, was killed and two other persons were wounded, one seriously, by a missile fired by an Israeli drone when they were walking in a street of the town of Rafah," a medical official said. Security sources said Mr Hamad was a member of the radical Islamic Jihad movement. Members of the Islamic Jihad's armed branch were meanwhile targeted by Israeli missile fire at Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip but escaped unhurt, security officials said. Mr Hamad's death brings to 5405 the number of fatalities since the 2000 outbreak of the Palestinian uprising, the large majority of them Palestinians.
