In addition, on October 28th, at approximately 5:15 PM, an Israeli helicopter fired a missile at a Subaru car, near the Faculty of Agriculture, in the north of Beit Hanoun town, killing Majed Ebrahim Natat, 27, and injuring another. Natat was claimed to launch locally made rockets at Israeli territories.
Further, Israeli F16 airplanes fired 33 rockets near residential areas in the north of the Gaza Strip, which resulted in sever damages to nearby houses, cutting off the electricity, and spreading panic among people.
Al Mezan Centre for Human Rights calls upon the international community to immediately intervene and put and end to the ongoing Israeli violations, provide protection to the Palestinians and lift the closure imposed on the Gaza Strip. It also calls upon the international community to implement the articles of the Fourth Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.
