Al-Qassam Website - A Palestinian citizen of Gaza has succumbed to severe injuries he sustained from the Israeli occupation forces during the most recent aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has confirmed the martyrdom of elderly Palestinian Ismail Ayyad who was gravely wounded when an Israeli occupation warplane launched a missile in close proximity to his home in the Al-Zeitoun neighbourhood, located east of the blockaded territory.

Following the implementation of a ceasefire agreement, the Health Ministry has reported that the occupation's offensive against the Gaza Strip, which lasted for five days, resulted in the deaths of 33 Palestinians, including six children and three women.
