At dawn on Wednesday, Israeli occupation forces carried out two new massacres in the central and northern Gaza Strip, while intensifying their bombardment of residential areas.

According to medical sources cited by Al-Jazeera, at least 14 Palestinians were killed in Israeli shelling across the northern and central parts of the enclave since midnight.

Al-Jazeera reported that eight people were killed and several others injured when Israeli airstrikes targeted the home of journalist Osama al-Arbid’s family in the Saftawi neighborhood in northern Gaza.
