Isra', the sister to ten-year-old Yasin Abu Khussa, who was killed in the Saturday attack, died in hospital, Palestinian media reported.
Israelis attacked Gaza after claiming that rockets fired from the enclave hit areas in the occupied Palestinian territories late on Friday. No casualties were reported in the attack, which Israel blamed on Hamas.
Militants affiliated to the Daesh Takfiri group have claimed several such rocket attacks in recent months, but Israel holds Hamas responsible for all such incidents.
Comment: Like all areas that have come under the control of Western-backed terror groups, Palmyra has experienced a wave of tragedies.As soon as ISIS captured the site in May, 2015 they began destroying ancient artifacts, temples, and gravesites. The custodian in charge of the area, Khaled al-Asaad, once head of Palmyra Antiquities Department and Museums and a man celebrated for his rich knowledge of the site's treasures, refused to assist them. By refusing he knew that he would be 'made an example of' but he stayed due to the great love he had for the area, the people, and their history. He was beheaded in broad daylight.
A victory for the Russian coalition here, as part of their multi-pronged offensive to take ISIS' capital in Raqqa, cannot come too soon.
