Gaza City, Palestinian Territories: One Palestinian was killed and seven injured by overnight Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medics said on Tuesday.

"We learned of the martyrdom of the youth Musa Shtawe, 29, who died of his injuries after a strike east of Gaza City," said Adham Abu Selmiya, spokesman for the Hamas-run emergency services in the Gaza Strip.

Abu Selmiya said another seven people were injured in at least four Israeli air strikes across Gaza, which came after a Grad rocket was fired from the Palestinian territory into Israel, the Israeli military said.
