<p>Media sources in Gaza have reported that, among various
sites and areas targeted by Israeli missiles in the
coastal region, are water wells, and tourist areas.</p>
<p>Yousef Abu Kamil, from the Public Relations department
of al-Mughraqa Local Council, said the Israeli missiles
destroyed a well owned by the city, and provides water
for approximately 11.000 Palestinians.</p>
<p>He added that the Israeli missiles also destroyed two
cars of the local council, in addition to other property
damage.</p>
<p>Abu Kamil also said that the new building of the local
council sustained property damage, in addition a radio
transmission tower and a fuel pumping machine.</p>
<p>In addition, Beit Lahia municipality said the army also
bombarded its well, providing the residents with water,
in addition to causing serious property damage to
buildings and property owned by the city.</p>
<p>The Israeli army claims its attacks targeted centers
run by the al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas,
yet, its missiles have led to civilian casualties, and
extensive damage to homes and infrastructure in the
besieged coastal region.</p>
<p>The Israel missiles that targeted Gaza in predawn
escalation have led to the death of a pregnant
Palestinian mother, identified as <a

target="_blank" rel="noopener">Enas Mohammad Khammash,
23, and her toddler girl, Bayan, only 18 months of age</a>.</p>
<p>The missiles also killed a third Palestinian,
identified as <a
href="http://imemc.org/article/israeli-army-kills-one-palestinian-in-northern-gaza/"
target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ali al-Ghandour</a>,
30, in northern Gaza, and led to many injuries.</p>
<p>Also on Wednesday, <a
href="http://imemc.org/article/israeli-army-bombards-many-areas-in-gaza/"
target="_blank" rel="noopener">the army fired several
missiles</a> into various areas of the Gaza Strip,
including a building in the Sudaniyya area of northern
Gaza, which was first struck by three missiles, followed
by an additional six missiles, just minutes later.</p>
<p>The Israeli army said it targeted several Hamas centers
in Gaza, reportedly when six Israelis were injured in
the Sderot settlement, in the Negev, “after eight shells
were fired from the coastal region.”</p>
<p>Israeli Ynet News said that one Israeli man, aged 23,
was injured by shrapnel in his leg, and added that “two
pregnant women in addition to a man, 42 years of age,
were treated for shock,” before being moved to Barzilai
Hospital.</p>
<p>It alleged that Hamas fighters fired live rounds at
“civil engineering equipment,” used as part of a
“anti-tunnel barrier’” which is being built along the
barrier with Gaza, causing damage, before the army fire
a tank shell at a Hamas post.</p>
<p>Hamas said its fighters fired shells into nearby army
posts, in retaliation to Israeli bombardment of the
coastal region, and added that it has no Interest in
escalation.</p>
<p>Hamas leaders said that they are holding talks with
Egypt, to restore calm to the region, and to avoid a
potentially serious military escalation.</p>
<p>The Israeli army said it raised the alert level along
the border with Gaza, after noticing that Hamas fighters
were evacuated from their posts along the border, a move
that Hamas said was meant to ensure their safety, and
avoid further escalation, while the army considered it
as part of preparation for potential escalation.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, the Israeli army <a
href="http://imemc.org/article/israeli-army-kills-two-palestinian-fighters-in-gaza/"
target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed two Hamas
fighters</a>, identified as Ahmad Abdullah Morjan, 23,
and Abdul-Hafeth Mohammad Seelawi, 23, in northern Gaza.</p>
<p>The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, issued
a statement denouncing the Israeli assassination of two
of its fighters, in northern Gaza, and holding Israel
accountable for any future escalation.</p>
<p>It stated that the two fighters were part of a military
training in “Asqalan” center, one of its training
locations in northern Gaza, and that many Palestinians,
including political leaders of Hamas, were in
attendance.</p>
