The death toll of those killed in Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours has risen to eight after a bullet-ridden body was found near the Israeli border in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip on Wednesday afternoon.
The director of ambulance and emergency services in the Palestinian health ministry, Mu'awiya Hassanain said that the last victim was taken to Kamal Udwan hospital. His body was bullet-riddled. Hassanain added that 18 injured men were hospitalized during the past 24 hours, three of whom sustained serious wounds.
Six Palestinian activists were killed and several others injured on Wednesday morning in a series of Israeli air raids and a simultaneous ground incursion in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas' military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, announced the death of three of their members after Israeli warplanes fired three missiles at a group of activists in the Ash-Shuja'iyya neighborhood. Amongs the victims was
Ahid Shamali, a leader in the Al-Qassam Brigades.
After a second Israeli strike, the Al-Qassam Brigades announced the death of activists

Salim Al-Wadiyya was killed.
The An-Nasser Brigades said that their combatants ambushed the undercover Israeli forces and fought with them in the area of the electricity company.

Mariam Udwan
Second Gazan pilgrim dies at Al-Arish
Palestinian medical sources announced the death of Palestinian pilgrim Mariam Udwan, a woman in her fifties, the second person to die while stranded at Al-Arish, Egypt, while attempting to return to the Gaza Strip from Mecca.
On Monday, a woman named Khadra Mas'ud, also died. About 1,200 pilgrims are living in tents at Al-Arish, exposed to the cold, dusty climate of the Egyptian desert in winter.
The stranded pilgrims threatened to escalate their protest if they are not allowed into Gaza Strip through Rafah crossing.
The Egyptian government arranged to have thousands of Gazan pilgrims pass through Palestinian-administered Rafah on December 18th. Now, after Israeli accusations that Egypt was aiding Palestinan arms smugglers, Egyptian authorities are demanding that the pilgrims return through an Israeli-controlled crossing.
Most of the pilgrims are refusing to do this, because many of them are pursued by the Israeli government for political activities, and may be detained by Israeli authorities if they pass through an Israeli checkpoint.

Nine dead, more than forty injured in Israeli strikes on Gaza Strip
Israeli helicopters launched three missiles at a site belonging to Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades killing 25-year-old Abdallah Qishta, a Fatah member detained by Hamas, and injuring four others, one seriously.
This attack brings the death toll since Thursday morning to nine. The number of those injured also rose to 46.
Helicopters also fired a missile at a site belonging to the Hamas-affiliated police in Rafah, injuring two.
Less than an hour earlier, Israeli warplanes targeted the Ash-Shja'iyya neighbourhood in Gaza City, killing
23-year-old Yasser Hillis,
who is also affiliated to Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades.
Earlier in the day a Palestinian woman, her daughter and two sons, and another activist affiliated to Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades were killed in an Israeli incursion in the town of Bani Suhaila, south of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
The body of combatant
Barham Abu Lihya, in his twenties,
was also discovered after the Israeli forces withdrew from the area later on Thursday afternoon.
Palestinian medical sources told Ma'an that
52-year-old Karima Fayyad and her sons,
32-year-old Ahmad, and
31-year-old Sami, and her
15-year-old daugher Asma
were killed when Israeli artillery fired missiles at the family's home. The rest of the family were wounded in the attack and medics are trying to free them from under the debris of the ruined house.
Early on Thursday afternoon the body of
Muhammad Fayyad,
Karima's 18-year-old nephew, was pulled from the wreckage of their home.
A baby from the same family is clinically dead but is on a life support machine.
A Palestinian gunman affiliated to Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades,
twenty-year-old Muneer Barham,
was also killed when Israeli forces invaded the town of Bani Suhayla in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Thursday.
Eyewitnesses told Ma'an's reporter that that Israeli warplanes and artillery launched seven missiles at Palestinian combatants as they clashed with the invading forces, which penetrated three kilometres into the area.
Continuing Israeli Massacre in Gaza
The latest round of Israeli massacres committed against the people of Gaza has resulted in the brutal killings of the Fayyad family in the town of Bani Suhaila, south of Khan Younus as they slept in their own house, and the injury of more than 30 civilians. Karima Fayyad, her sons, Ahmad and Sami, and her daughter Asma were killed when Israeli artillery fired missiles at the family's home This brings today's toll alone to 8 Palestinian martyrs, in addition to the 7 civilians killed yesterday. Since the end of the Annapolis International meeting, the Israeli Occupation Forces have killed more than 110 Palestinians, most of whom are civilians and children.
The slow motion genocide itself has killed 59 patients over the last two months. The One Democratic State Group condemns in the strongest possible terms these heinous crimes and reiterates its call upon all civil society organizations and freedom loving people to act immediately in any possible way to put pressure on their governments to end diplomatic ties with Apartheid Israel and institute sanctions against it for its 40 years of military occupation of Palestine.
Gaza has been enduring Israeli policies of extermination and vandalism since June.2006. We equally condemn the international conspiracy of silence and Arab impotence in the face of these continuous Israeli crimes. Not a single action against Israel has been taken by any Arab country. The failure of the United Nations and its numerous organizations to condemn such crimes indicates complicity.
We ask, how many more dead corpses of Palestinian children and women does the international community need to see in order to act? What more do Arab peoples need to see to translate their words of support into action? How many more refugees should be stranded in the Sinai desert, on the Jordanian-Iraqi borders, and the Syrian-Iraqi frontiers to convince the UN and its Security Council that Palestinians are also human beings?
