Baku-APA. Palestinian ambulance workers evacuated a body of a Palestinian killed by the Israeli troops earlier on Wednesday near the Gaza-Israel fence, medical sources said, APA reports quoting Xinhua.

Adham Abu Selmiya, spokesperson for health emergency services, said the man was 66 year-old and was killed as he was farming his land near the borders between Gaza and Israel in central Gaza Strip.

"His body was torn into pieces as he was directly hit with a tank shell," Abu Selmiya said.

Israeli jet fighters have earlier in the day launched two raids on Gaza in which an Islamic Jihad commander was killed and three others were injured.

The Israeli airstrikes came one day after the Gaza ruler Hamas and other factions announced cease-fire with Israel after five days of heated violence that followed an operation that killed eight Israelis in the Eliat city last Thursday.

The recent uptick in violence left 15 Palestinians and two Israelis dead.
