t approximately 19:00, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a number of Palestinians who were in the garden of a house belonging to ‘Ata ‘Abdul ‘Aati al-Za’anin in al-Wadi Street in the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun. As a result, two Palestinians who were in a visit to the owner’s son were wounded:

1- Yousef Rafiq Shabat, 28, seriously wounded by shrapnel throughout the body; and
2- ‘Abdullah Akram Abu Harbid, 22, wounded by shrapnel throughout the body. 

Sa’diya Sa’id Nasser, 65, who was in the house, also sustained bruises to the head. Additionally, the house was damaged. It should be noted that the two wounded persons are members of the ‘Izziddin al-Qassam Brigades (the armed wing of Hamas), but they were in an ordinary visit when they were attacked. The Israeli military claimed that it targeted a number of Palestinians who intended to launch home-made rockets into Israeli towns.
