A Palestinian man was killed on Monday, and another critically injured, in an Israeli artillery attack on a location to the east of Beit Lahia town, in the northern Gaza Strip, said the Ministry of Health.

Mohammad Masoud al-Radea’, 31, from Beit Lahia, was killed in the attack that targeted with at least two shells a site to the east of Beit Lahia town.

Another Palestinian suffered serious wounds, and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
