It is worth mentioning that the Israeli army claimed it struck a “Hamas observation post near Khan Younis,” killing two Palestinians.

Meanwhile, the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, issued an official statement saying the two slain Palestinians were members of the group.

Updated: Israeli soldiers killed, on Sunday afternoon, two unarmed Palestinian protesters near the eastern border of the southern city of Khan Younis.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza identified the two protesters as Baha’ Qdeih, 23, and Mohammad Abu Reeda, 20 .

The Israeli army claimed that the two Palestinians crossed the border fence before the soldiers shot them.

Safa, a local Palestinian news agency, said that the army left the two wounded Palestinians bleeding for about half an hour before allowing Palestinian paramedics to evacuate them.

Baha’ was already dead when the medics were able to reach him, while Abu Reeda was rushed to surgery at the Gaza European Hospital, but died from his serious wounds.

It said that the soldiers “detained and shot the two Palestinians in the area between the barbed-wire border fence and the Palestinians lands, east of Khan Younis.”

It is worth mentioning that Baha’ is from Abasan al-Kabeera town, while Mohammad is from Khuza’a town, in Khan Younis.ِ

According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, when the paramedics arrived in the area , they found Qdeih had passed away and Abu-Reeda was still bleeding, but in critical condition.

They were evacuated to the hospital and Abu-Reeda received life-saving treatment, but was later pronounced dead.

Yahya Sinouar, le chef de l’espionnage du Hamas qui surveille Gaza | Middle East Eye
▻http://www.middleeasteye.net/fr/reportages/yahya-sinouar-le-chef-de-l-espionnage-du-hamas-qui-surveille-gaza-669

Yahya Sinouar (55 ans), membre de l’aile armée du Hamas, a été élu lundi dernier à la tête du bureau politique de Gaza.

Il a remplacé Ismaël Haniyeh, qui est considéré par beaucoup d’observateurs comme le successeur le plus probable du chef du Hamas en exil Khaled Meshaal.

Yahya Sinouar, diplômé en arabe, est né dans le camp de réfugiés de Khan Younis, dans le sud de Gaza.

Il a fondé le « Majd », l’un des services de renseignement du Hamas, et a été arrêté par Israël en 1988 pour « activité terroriste » et condamné à quatre peines d’emprisonnement à perpétuité.

Sinouar a été libéré en octobre 2011 en vertu d’un accord visant à échanger plus de 1 000 prisonniers palestiniens contre la libération de Gilad Shalit, un soldat israélien capturé cinq ans plus tôt.

Depuis sa libération, Sinouar travaille comme membre du bureau politique du Hamas à Gaza, menant des négociations pour l’échange de prisonniers avec Israël et organisant des réunions de réconciliation avec la faction rivale du Hamas, le Fatah.

Le récit de mort et de dévastation d’un jeune homme de Gaza, survivant de l’attaque de Khuza’a
▻http://fr.globalvoicesonline.org/2014/07/28/172737

Le premier raid était sur la route vers Khan Younis, isolant Khuza’a. Le second a touché les transformateurs électriques. Le troisième, les tours de téléphonie mobile. Le quatrième, les lignes terrestres. Nous étions seuls, il faisait nuit noire à Khuza’a, et le bombardement ne cessait pas. Les avions pilonnaient tout. Le verre tombait des fenêtres, les éclats d’obus volaient dans les maisons et tout autour de nous. Nous nous sommes abrités dans un endroit que nous avons cru moins dangereux, en prenant une position dont nous avons cru qu’elle nous protégerait. Nous comptions les attaques et calculions les probabilités : est-ce le son d’un missile qui arrive sur nous ? Cet obus est-il dans la maison ? Pourquoi il n’a pas explosé ? La maison d’untel est-elle visée ? Telle-ou-telle mosquée ? Ceci est une attaque de F16, et ça, un bombardement d’artillerie. Toute la nuit a passé à essayer de garder notre raison et ce qui restait de nos nerfs.

Au matin ils nous on dit de sortir, que la Croix Rouge à l’entrée du village garantirait notre retraite. Sortez, l’armée ne veut pas vous faire de mal ; l’opération vise vos maisons, vos rues, votre terre et chaque aspect de votre vie, mais vos vies elles-mêmes ne sont pas la cible. Trois mille d’entre nous sont sortis. Nous marchions en une foule aussi massive que celle de Shuja’iya quelques jours auparavant, comme celle de nos aïeux il y a 66 ans. En marchant, nous avons vu avec stupeur l’ampleur des destruction d’une seule nuit. Nous marchions comme si nous faisions nos adieux à ce qui restait. Mais ce n’était pas l’important ; il fallait geler ses sentiments et se concentrer sur ses pieds.

Nous avons atteint le point où ils nous avaient dit d’aller, et avons trouvé une ligne de chars, et rien d’autre. Nous venions de comprendre que c’était un piège quand ça a commencé à tirer de tous les côtés.

Et ensuite ? Les gens fauchés, les cris, le chaos total.

73 Palestinians killed on Wednesday in Gaza, total death toll at 695 | Maan News Agency
▻http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=715748

GAZA CITY (Ma’an) — Unceasing Israeli attacks on Gaza left 73 Palestinians dead on Wednesday, bringing the death toll since the beginning of Israel’s offensive on the Strip to 695.

A Palestinian health ministry spokesman said that 13 people had been killed since sundown, when Palestinians across Gaza broke their Ramadan fast for the day.

Thirty-one of Wednesday’s dead were killed in the southern Khan Younis area, Ashraf al-Qidra said.

After intense Israeli strikes on the Khazaa and al-Fakhari neighborhoods overnight and early Wednesday, medics told Ma’an they spent the day pulling bodies from the rubble and searching for injured.

However, they said their work was impeded as Israeli forces prevented them from entering the area several times. Ambulances have still not reached some of those injured or killed by strikes on Khuzaa, the medics said.

The Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human rights estimated on Wednesday that 81.5 percent of those killed in the Israeli offensive were civilians.

Before and after Eilat: Israeli air strikes are no different than militant rocket attacks - Sixteen Minutes to Palestine
►http://smpalestine.com/2011/08/19/before-and-after-eilat-israeli-air-strikes-are-no-different-than-milita

On Tuesday, two days before the Eilat attacks, the Israeli air force launched a series of night bombing raids that targeted civilian population centers in Rafah, Khan Younis, and Gaza City — three of the five largest cities in the Gaza Strip. Six Palestinians were confirmed dead. Some were attached to Hamas, although none of them were engaging in any hostile or threatening activity. Others were, as Israel’s defensemen regularly term, “collateral damage”.

Assume for the sake of the Israeli government’s argument that the Eilat attacks were indeed carried out by the most ‘vile of Palestinian creatures’. This raises a very fair question: could the coordinated Eilat attacks in fact be a response to the seemingly unprovoked Gaza Strip bombings two days ago? After all, if Israel has a right to retaliate, so does everyone else.
