Palestinian men look through the rubble of a house that was damaged during an Israeli army raid on El Moghazi refugee camp

GAZA CITY, November 7 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – Israeli occupation forces killed four Palestinians, including a 11-year-old child, overnight and early on Friday, November 7.

Mahmud al-Qayed, 11, was killed Friday by shrapnel from an Israeli tank shell in the northern Gaza Strip Friday, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).

He was hit in his chest as he was playing with a friend near the Karni crossing point between the northeastern Gaza Strip and Israel, Palestinian medical sources and witnesses said.

The child's death capped a night of Israeli attacks in the Strip which claimed a total of four Palestinians dead.

A Palestinian resistance activist was reported dead around the same time Friday morning, after his body was found on the site of an overnight exchange of fire with Israeli troops, Palestinian medical sources said.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades member Nazmi al-Najar, 30, was involved in a clash with the Israeli occupation army near the separation wall between southeastern Gaza Strip and Israel late Thursday, November 6.

His cousin Mohammad al-Najar, 21, had already been reported killed in the same incident.

In a separate clash, a resistance fighter from the armed wing of Hamas was also killed by the Israeli army overnight in the central Gaza Strip.

The latest deaths brought the total number of people killed since the outbreak of Al-Aqsa Intifada against the Israeli occupation to 3,597, including 2,682 Palestinians and 849 Israelis, according to an AFP count.
