At least eight people, including women and children, were killed and 10 were wounded after Israeli artillery targeted a group of Palestinians filling water containers west of the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“We were displaced to the Faluja area, which is considered a safe area, and suddenly this place was shelled by the Israelis. We do not know where to go,” a witness said.

Video footage shared online and verified by Al Jazeera showed how the attack turned the area into a pool of blood, as well as the impact of shrapnel on shops and homes at the site of the bombing.
