Stacking hand strike effects?

If a card says 'Strike: Make a hand strike and put this card on the opposing minion' is it only playable with default hand strike or with any other strike card that would happen to be a hand strike? Like for example, could I play Creeping Infection with Withering?


Name: Creeping Infection
[LoB:C]
Cardtype: Combat
Cost: 1 blood
Discipline: Thanatosis
[thn] Strike: hand strike, and put this card on the opposing minion. You still control this card. When this striking vampire announces an action, you may burn this card to prevent this minion from blocking. A minion may have only one Creeping Infection.
[THN] As [thn] above, and this striking vampire gets +1 bleed when bleeding this minion's controller.

Name: Withering
[BL:C2, LoB:C]
Cardtype: Combat
Discipline: Thanatosis/Animalism
[ani] Strike: 1R damage.
[thn] Strike: hand strike. Place this card on the opposing minion. The minion with this card has -1 strength. Burn this card during his or her controller's next discard phase.
[THN] As [thn] above, and the minion with this card cannot play cards that require any Disciplines.
Artist: Leif Jones

No, this is not what it means.

"Make a hand strike" indicates that the strike you are making is based on the minions strength, is not effective against your opponent at long range, and is playable under the effects of Immortal Grapple.

Absolutely not.

You may play 1 strike per strike resolution.

Correct.

It's worth pointing out that the older phrasing "Strike: make a hand strike" has been replaced by "Strike: hand strike" in the official card text list (as seen in the card text you quoted).
