Israeli army kills 8 Palestinians in renewed airstrikes in Gaza

At least eight Palestinians were killed in renewed Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, medics said.

A medical source said three family members lost their lives in Israeli shelling of a tent sheltering displaced civilians in the northern town of Beit Lahia.

A young Palestinian also died of his wounds sustained in an earlier Israeli strike in the Shejaiya neighborhood in Gaza City.

Another civilian was killed and two others were injured in a drone strike in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, medics said.

One more Palestinian was injured in a similar strike in the Bureij refugee camp.

Two more people were killed, including a journalist, in Israeli bombardment of the Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis, a medical source said.

Gaza’s Interior Ministry also said that a police commander was killed in an Israeli strike in Khan Younis at dawn.

The Israeli artillery repeatedly shelled the Al-Tuffah and Shejaiya neighborhoods of eastern Gaza City amid intense gunfire from military vehicles, according to witnesses.
