Six Palestinians killed in additional Israeli attacks on Gaza
Israeli forces are continuing their attacks across the Gaza Strip, even as outrage grows over the bombing that killed 40 people in Rafah.
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that at least five Palestinians were killed and several others wounded after Israeli jets bombed the home of the al-Batran family in the Zarqa area, north of Gaza City.
The victims included a child and her pregnant mother.
There was also another Israeli attack on the Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip which killed at least one Palestinian, AJA reported.
Witness recounts deadly Israeli attack on Jabalia
Palestinians in Jabalia in northern Gaza are scrambling to rescue people trapped under the rubble after an Israeli attack levelled a five-storey house belonging to the Khalla family on Sunday.
At least 12 people were killed in the bombing.
An elderly relative of the victims recounted the attack to Al Jazeera.
He said: “It was around noon – lunch – people were sitting in their homes safe and sound, we heard the sound of a massive explosion that shook the area and took the entire block down. People rushed to the area and we were surprised to see that it was the house of my brother.
“The house was completely destroyed with everyone inside. People rushed to the area and tried to save anyone they could save. Others were killed.
“We are no strangers to martyrdom. This is the fifth time this family has been targeted, 100 of them have died so far, all women and children. Our brothers did everything in their power to pull people from the rubble. May God grant them safety.”
