Gaza: Two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli regime air strike on the Gaza border. A ministry spokesman said the bodies of two men had been taken to a hospital in southern Gaza after the 11pm.

In another case, a Palestinian died after being arrested by the Israel regime during a raid in the occupied West Bank Tuesday night, with his family accusing occupation soldiers of beating him.

The occupation army confirmed the death of Mohammad Khatib, 24, in custody but said he not resisted arrest.

Khatib’s brother Bashir told AFP by phone that the army had raided the house in the early hours of Tuesday morning. “They entered Mohammad’s room while he was sleeping, and they beat him violently and we heard screaming,” he said. “After a while he went silent, and a soldier carried him out on his back.”
