Israeli Drone Kills One

Israel's military operation kills one Palestinian in northern Gaza

One Palestinian was killed by a rocket fired from Israeli drone plane on a group of militants in the northern Gaza Strip early Thursday morning, (Nov. 23) security sources said.

The rocket was aimed at the Palestinian militants who were facing off Israeli troops that rolled more into the northern Gaza Strip in continued military operations, the sources said.

The slain was a 19-year-old civilian who was watching, they added.

Also on Thursday, a tank shell exploded near a group of students on their way to school, wounding eight of them.

Paramedics said six students were treated on the scene and two others were transported to hospital with moderate wounds.

Earlier at predawn, Israeli helicopter gunship targeted a money changer in Gaza city and destroyed it, but no reports on casualties.

So far, Palestinian rockets continued to fall in Israeli city of Sderot, the army expanded its incursion into Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahiya towns and Jabaliya refugee camp.

On Wednesday, Israel decided to continue its military operations in Gaza to curb increased rockets launching by Palestinian militants but ruled out large-scale offensive.
