GAZA CITY: A dud Israeli shell from this summer’s Gaza’s war exploded yesterday, killing three people and leaving two others wounded in the north of the Palestinian enclave, medics said.
Emergency services spokesman Ashraf Al Qudra, who said one of three wounded had died in hospital, said the shell exploded in the Shejaiya neighbourhood.
The district on the edge of Gaza City was subjected to some of the heaviest Israeli shelling during the July-August conflict.
The war ended with a truce on August 26. It killed more than 2,140 Palestinians, most of them civilians, and 73 on the Israeli side, mostly soldiers.
It caused a vast amount of destruction to homes and infrastructure, leaving more than 100,000 Palestinians homeless in the long term, according to the UN.AFP
