One man was injured in a missile or drone strike allegedly carried out by Israeli forces on Saturday 15 May 2021 in Gemmayzeh Street, Al-Qarara, north of Khan Younis in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
There are multiple reports of a young man being moderately injured in a missile strike while riding a bicycle at approximately 2pm, although the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) describes his injuries as serious. The injured civilian was taken to Nasser Hospital for treatment of his injuries, according to @wataniaps1.
@no_itsmyturn, an open-source online investigator, suggested that the strike had been aimed at underground military infrastructure in the vicinity. All of the sources attribute the strikes to Israel.
