Israeli planes raided the Gaza Strip early Saturday, killing a child and injuring his sister and brother, health ministry spokesman said.

Yasin Abu Khussa, 10, died in a raid at Beit Lahiya in the north of the strip, Ashraf al-Qudra said.

His sister Yasmin, 6, was seriously wounded and his brother Ayub, 13, suffered moderate injuries, al-Qudra told AFP.

The occupation army confirmed in a statement that the Israeli air force carried out four strikes on Gaza, claiming they were in response of rockets launched from the besieged strip.

Gaza witnessed in summer 2014 a devastating war launched by the Zionist entity. The Israeli aggression lasted for more than 50 days, killing and injuring thousands of Palestinian civilians.
