Al Jazeera Arabic reports that at least seven Palestinians were killed after Israeli forces shelled tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the area. AJA also said that Israeli attacks caused a fire at an apartment building in the neighbourhood.

Earlier, it was reported that an Israeli air raid on the al-Hashashin area, north of Rafah, killed another seven people.

The renewed attacks come despite international outrage over the Israeli missile barrage that caused a fire and killed at least 45 displaced Palestinians in Tal as-Sultan.
