GAZA CITY--Eight Palestinian activists, one of them a senior commander, have been martyred and 16 other people wounded in the Gaza Strip in four "Israeli" raids.
In the first Gaza raid three men -- two of them from the Islamic Jihad group and a third from the armed wing of Hamas -- were martyred around the southern town of Khan Younis on Thursday. Six people were also wounded.
Since the beginning of the month, the occupying regime's army has martyred more than 30 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The "Israeli" occupying army said that infantry units backed by air power carried out a "routine operation" targeting activists who were firing rockets and mortars at "Israeli" targets.
Shortly afterwards, two Islamic Jihad fighters were martyred and two wounded in an air raid in the central Gaza Strip, medics said.
A third "Israeli" raid, which witnesses said was carried out by either helicopters or drones, martyred an Islamic Jihad member and wounded two more south of Gaza City, medical sources said.
Islamic Jihad named the dead man as Mohammed Abdullah, 40, a senior commander of its Al-Quds Brigades military wing who operated under the nom de guerre of Abu Morshild.
A Zionist army spokesman confirmed an air raid had been carried out.
Last week, the "Israeli" military martyred Islamic Jihad's Gaza commander Majed al-Harazin and 12 other fighters in a series of raids.
In the fourth Gaza raid a Hamas member was martyred near Khan Younis.
Five other people were wounded by air to surface missiles, medics said.
In a raid in the West Bank, Zionist soldiers martyred a member of the security force of former Palestinian Fatah elected prime minister Ahmed Qorei, currently the senior Palestinian negotiator with "Israel".
Motassem Ash-Sharif, 22, was martyred while trying to flee "Israeli" soldiers who had arrived at his house to arrest him, the witnesses said.
In the northern part of the "Israeli"-occupied West Bank, the occupying army announced it had arrested Mohammed Abdel Rahman, a member of Islamic Jihad.
