Palestinian homes and shelters are targeted in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip, killing entire families.
At least 53 Palestinians have been killed across the Gaza Strip in Israeli attacks on their homes and shelters in the past 24 hours, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence.
One person was killed overnight on Wednesday after a house was targeted in Beit Lahiya in the north of the enclave, and in the Nuseirat refugee camp, two Palestinians were killed when their tent was hit by an Israeli air strike.
Those killed in central Gaza’s Nuseirat were from the al-Ejla family who lost 11 relatives in August.
On Wednesday morning, one body was recovered from the Khirbet al-Adas area north of Rafah. The man found was 70-year-old Khalil Salim al-Nahl, the enclave’s civil defence said.
Earlier, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic reported that a woman and her five children were killed in an Israeli bombing of a house in the town of Hay al-Nasr, northeast of Rafah.
