An Israeli air raid on Wednesday in the northern Gaza Strip killed one Palestinian and wounded three others.

A Gaza health ministry spokesman said one person was martyred and three wounded on a beach in the area of Beit Lahiya, located near the Palestinian enclave's northern border with Israel.

The spokesman identified the person killed as Musa Abu Zuaiter, 31.

For its part, the occupation army confirmed the strike, saying it "targeted a terror cell plotting to detonate an explosive device against (military) forces stationed along the border of the northern Gaza Strip."

The Zionist entity launched since 2008 three wars against the besieged strip, including a devastating 50-day aggression in 2014.
