The Occupation Forces fired on the unarmed civilians at ash-Shuahada Crossing which led to the death of the child Bilal Tawfiq Ramadan, 13 years-old from al-Bureij Camp who was killed with bullets fired to his heart.
The day before yesterday in the evening the Occupation Forces continued to concentrate their shelling against the civilian houses on the entrance of the Refugee Camp in Khan Yunis near the Neve Dekalim Settlement with rockets and heavy machine guns.
This led to the complete destruction of five houses and setting fire to ten others and a petrol station since the heavy shelling prevented the fire-fighting vehicles from stopping the fire.
The fire caused heavy losses and a state of shock and terror amongst the unarmed civilians.
The shelling led to the injury of 130 civilians with varying degrees of severity and cases of affixation from the firing of tens of gas bombs.
Among these four cases are in a critical condition and were transferred to Shifa Hospital in Gaza.
They are: Muhammad Salih Abu al-Amrin, 20 years old, injured by a bullet fired at his neck.

Muhammad Yusuf al-Aqad, 41 years old, injured by a bullet fired at his head.
Muhammad Salih Sarhan, 22 years old, injured by a bullet fired at his head.
40 civilians are in a state of severe hysteria as a result of being suffocated by dense gas which is believed to be nerve gas forbidden internationally.
The medical teams in the hospital at Khan Yunis announced that they could not control the situation, and the Palestinian Radio called upon doctors to attend Nasr Hospital in Khan Yunis to support the medical teams there.
Al Mezan Center considers extra-judicial killings constitute a war crime and that it is incumbent on the international community to intervene to punish those responsible and try them in international courts.
It also demands the international community to stop their silence and intervene immediately to protect the Palestinian civilian citizens especially after the threats issued by the leaders of the occupation against the inhabitants of the occupied Palestinian territory.
