At least three gunmen were killed in a fresh Israeli airstrike in the southern Gaza City, local medical sources said Friday.
Gaza emergency chief Mo'aweya Hassanein said that the three gunmen from Popular Resistance Committees were killed by Israeli attacks.
Earlier this morning, three children were killed during an Israeli airstrike in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah and Israeli tank shelling in the northern area of Jabalia separately.
As 23 bodies have been found under the rubble of a building in Gaza City's Tel Hawwa neighborhood which was heavily bombarded by Israeli ground forces on Thursday, the dead toll on Friday totaled 29 until now, Hassanein said.
Hassanein said the death toll since the beginning of the Israeli massive attack on Gaza has risen to 1,133 with an addition of 5,150 wounded.
