Israeli airstrike injures 3 young Palestinians in Gaza: Report
Tehran (KNA) - At least three young Palestinian men have been wounded after an Israeli warplane fired a missile towards a crowd of Palestinian youths in the besieged Gaza Strip, a report says.
They were targeted east of Jabaliya in the northern parts of the blockaded enclave on Thursday afternoon, the Palestinian Ma'an news agency reported, citing local sources.
They were allegedly launching incendiary kites and balloons when the Israeli missile landed near them, it said.
The wounded, the report said, were taken to the Indonesian Hospital, also in northern Gaza, to receive due medical treatment for their "minor injuries."
An Israeli spokesperson confirmed the airstrike in a statement.
Flying kites and balloons has become a new mode of resistance since Palestinians began their weekly protests near a fence separating the Gaza Strip from the occupied territories on March 30 last year.
