GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s warplanes have carried out fresh aerial assaults on Gaza in yet another act of aggression against the blockaded coastal enclave, killing a Palestinian youth.
Gaza residents said the jets targeted three locations throughout the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. The Health Ministry in Gaza identified the victim as Naji al-Za'aneen, 25. Several Gazans were also wounded in the strikes by the occupying regime, said the Gazaalan news website.
Zionist war minister Avigdor Lieberman ordered to shut down the between Gaza crossings.
Lieberman instructed the military to shut down the Erez Crossing, the only pedestrian passage between the besieged Palestinian enclave and the occupied territories, and the Kerem Shalom Crossing, a passage for goods, said a statement released by the war ministry.
Lieberman also imposed further restrictions on the allowed fishing zone in Gaza.
A medical official told Israel Radio that three people had been taken to hospital with injuries after the alleged rocket attacks from Gaza.
The Zionist military ordered schools to remain closed in Beersheba on Wednesday. Studies were also delayed until 10 a.m. local time in areas near the Gaza Strip.
In a joint statement, however, Palestinian resistance groups denied any involvement in the alleged rocket fire from Gaza.
The groups vowed to continue Gaza protests until the siege by the regime on the Palestinian region would be terminated.
They also expressed their full preparedness to confront Israeli aggression against Palestinians.
Palestinian Popular Resistance Committees Spokesman Abu Mujahid told al-Mayadeen TV channel that the regime is looking for pretexts to attack, and that resistance groups reserve the right to respond to the regime's assaults.
He also warned that there is a limit to the patience of Palestinian resistance groups.
The Tel Aviv regime carries out regular attacks on the blockaded coastal sliver under the pretext of hitting positions belonging to Hamas, the movement which runs the Palestinian territory.
