An Israeli military drone fired a missile on a group of Palestinian boys, killing three of them in the east of the middle area of the Gaza Strip, medical sources said.

After firing the artillery shells, the Israeli occupation forces prevented the Palestinian paramedics from approaching the targeted area to look after the casualties.

One and half an hour later, the Israeli occupation forces allowed paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent to reach the area.

Spokesman of the Palestinian Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qidra said that the paramedics from the Palestinian Red Crescent found three dead boys aged 13.

He said that the bodies of the three boys were evacuated to Nasser Medical Complex in the southern Gaza City of Khan Younis.

The boys were later on identified as Khaled Bassam Said, Abdel-Hamin abu-Zaher and Mohammad al-Satarri.
