GAZA (Agencies) -- Israeli aircraft struck repeatedly at northern Gaza on Wednesday, and killed a 12-year-old boy, his father and uncle.

Senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Zahar, whose son was killed in Tuesday’s fighting, said the Islamic Resistance Movement would keep up its fight against the Zionist regime.
“The blood of children will not go in vain, it will turn into a fire that will burn up (Israel) sooner or later,” Zahar told Reuters at a tent erected for mourners for his son.
As Palestinians held a general strike over Israel’s killing on Tuesday of 19 people, an Israeli missile aimed at Islamic Jihad activists in Gaza hit a car and killed an entire family.
In Gaza, body parts were strewn around the twisted metal of a car wreck after the air strike, and the boy’s blood-smeared shoes lay tossed to the side.
Witnesses and medics said the strike killed three members of the same family.
Israeli troops also killed Islamic Jihad leader Walid Obeidi in a gunfight near the northern West Bank city of Jenin, Palestinian witnesses said.
In a show of unity, both Hamas and Abbas’s Fatah faction declared three days of mourning for those killed, ordering the closure of government offices, businesses, shops and schools.
Gaza’s streets were empty and parents kept their children home from school. Shops were also shuttered in the West Bank city of Ramallah, usually a bustling business hub and home to the Palestinian Authority. Palestinian flags flew at half mast.-
