Ramallah, August 11 (RHC)-- A Palestinian man seriously injured in the latest Israeli aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip has died of his wounds, raising the death toll from the three-day-long bloody assaults on the impoverished coastal sliver to at least 47, including 16 children and four women.

Palestinian medical sources identified the man as Ibrahim Shehda Abu Salah.  The sources added that the 41-year-old was seriously injured last Saturday, when Israeli military forces fired missiles and shells at a residential neighborhood in Beit Hanoun city, which lies on the northeast edge of the Gaza Strip, leaving several Palestinians dead and dozens of others wounded.

On Monday, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced in a statement that a young girl had succumbed to serious wounds sustained in Israeli attacks.  The ministry said the 10-year-old child, identified as Hanin Abu Qayda, was critically injured on August 6, when the Israeli army targeted a civilian car in the Bedouin village of Umm al-Nasr.  Her grandmother, Na’ama Mohammad Abu Qayda, 62, was instantly killed in the strike, while seven members of her family were wounded.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces carried out raids in several areas in the West Bank, detaining 14 Palestinians in a wide-ranging arrest campaign across the occupied Palestinian territory.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa, citing Palestinian security sources, reported that Israeli forces three Palestinians were arrested in al-Mughayyir village, located 27 kilometers (16 miles) northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.  Another Palestinian was arrested in Deir Jarir agricultural town as well.   Israeli troops also detained two people at a military checkpoint in Jaba' town, located northeast of al-Quds.
