The Israeli army escalated on Thursday and Friday its military
air and ground actions against the Gaza Strip, leaving nine
Palestinians dead, including two children.
Palestinian security sources and eyewitnesses said that Israeli
helicopters destroyed by two missiles a house, owned by the family
of a female militant of the governing Islamic Resistance Movement
(Hamas) in Gaza City.
The sources said the house belongs to Salleh Reyashi, the father
of Reem Reyashi, the mother of two children that was killed in a
suicide bombing attack two years ago into Erez Crossing on the
borders between Gaza Strip and Israel.
Reyashi owns a factory that produces cars batteries. The factory
and the house had been hit and destroyed one and a half year ago.
Reyashi rebuilt the house, recently, but it was attacked again on
Thursday night.
