Israeli airstrikes on Thursday morning pounded Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, as well as Gaza City bringing the Thursday death toll to 16.
Eight people are believed to have been killed in the latest round of raids, including a 13-year-old and three children. This is on top of the seven people killed overnight, which included three Hamas leaders and four children, Palestinian sources said.
"Israel targeted a group of citizens from one family, most of whom are children in the agricultural land centre of Gaza City," MEE contributor Mohammed Omer in Gaza said.
A further Palestinian also died of his injuries, AFP reported.
