GAZA, April 5, 2018 (WAFA) - A Palestinian who was not immediately identified was killed on Thursday after an Israeli drone targeted him with a missile to the east of Gaza City, according to medical sources at Shifa Hospital.

They said that Red Crescent paramedics found the corps of a Palestinian to the east of Gaza City.

The body was not identified because it was cut into pieces by the missile, said the sources.

This raises the toll of Palestinians killed in Gaza since Friday to 19 following the death of another Palestinian on Thursday of wounds sustained on Friday.

The Israeli army shot dead 16 Palestinians and wounded over 1400 others, many of them reported in critical condition, in a day of carnage on Friday.
