Gaza toll climbs to 3 after Israeli strikes

Gaza/West Bank, Dec 9 (IANS) Rescue teams on Saturday found a body of a Palestinian killed in last night's Israeli airstrikes on northern Gaza Strip, raising the death toll to three.

Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al Qedra told reporters that two other Palestinians were killed in the clashes on the borders and 170 people were wounded.

Israeli war jets carried out fresh airstrikes at around 3.45 a.m. on Saturday. They struck with missiles three military posts that belong to Hamas in northern, central and southern Gaza Strip, Xinhua news agency reported.

The Israeli airstrikes were a response to firing rockets on Friday from Gaza into southern Israel.

Clashes were renewed in the morning east of Gaza City and east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza Strip between schoolchildren and Israeli soldiers. One school boy was injured, according to officials.

Meanwhile, violence also broke out in West Bank city of Bethlehem between Palestinian protesters and Israeli forces stationed at the northern entrance of the city.
