Death toll rises from Israeli attacks on Jabalia refugee camp
We reported earlier that several people had been killed in an Israeli attack on the Hafsa School, where families had been sheltering, in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza. The Wafa news agency is now reporting that three people were killed in that attack and 15 others injured.
A child, who was playing on his scooter, was among the casualties, it said. Wafa also has more details on two other Israeli attacks that targeted homes belonging to the Sayed and Al-Sharif families in the al-Faluja area of the camp.
Rescuers and medical teams have reportedly been unable to reach either of the homes after the attacks.
As we reported earlier, at least four people were killed in the attack on the Sayed family home.
Two children among five killed in latest Israeli attack near Khan Younis
Five people, including two children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on a house in the town of al-Fakhari, east of Khan Younis, according to Al Jazeera’s reporters in Gaza.
Earlier, the Wafa news agency reported that eight civilians were killed and several others injured after Israeli fighter jets targeted a group of civilians in Gaza City and two tents for displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Two separate air attacks on tents for refugees west and east of Khan Younis also left more than a dozen people injured, mostly women and children, Wafa added.
