At least one Palestinian has been killed and one more injured in an Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip, Press TV reports.
According to Palestinian medical sources, Israel attacked eastern Gaza in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A total of 16 Palestinians have been killed since Friday afternoon, when Israeli warplanes, drones, and tanks began carrying out a series of attacks targeting different areas across the Gaza Strip.
The leader of the Popular Resistance Committees, Zuhair Al-Qaisi, was one of the Palestinians killed on Saturday. An Israeli drone struck his car in the Tel el-Hawa neighborhood west of Gaza city.
Thousands of mourners, many chanting calls for revenge and firing automatic weapons into the air, buried the victims on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said on Saturday that "the Israeli army will hit anyone planning to attack Israeli citizens."
Barak said Israel would continue to develop the capabilities of the Iron Dome defense system, designed to intercept rockets and artillery shells fired from a range of between four and 70 kilometers
Israeli war planes and ground forces have frequently attacked Gaza since the end of the December 2008-January 2009 war on the people of the Gaza Strip. Most of the victims of the attacks are civilians, including women and children.
