A 17-year-old Palestinian student has been killed in an Israeli air strike in Beit Lahiya , part of a massive Israeli military campaign has left 50 Palestinians and one soldier dead in six days in the northern Gaza Strip, medical officials said.

Mahmud Ashrafi was killed and nine other Palestinians, two of them five-year-olds, were hurt in the Israeli strike near a school in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza.
