On Wednesday noon, 16 January 2008, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) launched an air strike against a civilian vehicle in Gaza City. Three Palestinian civilians (a man, his son and his brother) were killed in the strike.

According to preliminary investigations conducted by PCHR, at approximately 12:30 on Wednesday, an IOF aircraft fired a missile at a civilian vehicle, in which three members of the al-Yazji family, including a child, were traveling, in al-Nafaq Street in the al-Daraj neighborhood of east Gaza City. The missile killed all three civilians.

1) Mohammed Hashem Mohammed al-Yazji, 27.

2) His child Ameer, 5.

3) His brother ‘Aamer, 40.

In addition, three civilian bystanders sustained shrapnel wounds:

1) Shukri Salem al-Shukri, 78.

2) Marshoud Salah al-Mazloum, 39.

3) Rashed Salah al-Mazloum, 40.

The Israeli media reported that IOF sources have admitted the vehicle was attacked by mistake, and the target of the IOF attack was another vehicle, in which Palestinian resistance activists were traveling.
