The Higher Committee for Medical and Emergency Serices in Gaza, reported that one Palestinian was killed and four others were injured, on Monday at dawn, when the Israeli Air Force bombarded a Naval Police station north west of Beit Lahia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

The resistance in Gaza fired several shells into Asqalan, and other areas, killing one Israeli and wounding several others.
