At least 20 Palestinians, including a woman and her six children, were killed when the Israeli army targeted several areas in Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.

Medical sources at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told Anadolu that a woman and her six children were killed and several others injured in an Israeli attack on Deir al-Balah city.

They added that four more were killed and several others wounded in another Israeli attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza Strip.

Eyewitnesses told Anadolu that Israeli artillery vehicles stationed east of the Gaza Strip are intensively shelling the eastern areas of the Maghazi and Bureij camps and the city of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

One Palestinian woman was killed and several others were injured when an Israeli drone targeted a house in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City, according to sources.
