GAZA CITY (AFP) - Seven Palestinians, including two children, were wounded by Israeli artillery fire in the northern Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources said."Seven civilians, including a five-year-old child and a 13-year-old boy, were wounded by artillery fire west of Beit Hanun," a medical source told AFP on Saturday.
An Israeli military source had earlier said the shelling was in retaliation for rocket fire overnight Friday, adding that four rockets coming from the area had exploded in Israeli territory without causing any casualties.
Meanwhile, Palestinian security sources said the wife and the mother of a wanted local head of the militant group Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades were arrested Saturday at an Israeli checkpoint near the West Bank town of Nablus.
