Israeli occupation forces carried out a new massacre in Gaza City early Wednesday, while intensifying aerial and artillery strikes on Deir al-Balah in central Gaza as part of an ongoing ground invasion that began two days ago.

Hospital sources in Gaza reported that at least seven people were killed and more than 15 injured in an Israeli airstrike that targeted an apartment in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City.

Later in the night, Israeli forces bombed a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in Al-Shati Refugee Camp, west of Gaza City, killing a woman and wounding others.

This attack came less than 24 hours after another deadly strike on the same camp that left dozens dead and injured, many of them displaced civilians.

In a separate attack at dawn, Palestinian medical sources confirmed that Israeli forces targeted an ambulance vehicle near Hamad Hospital in the northwest of Gaza City, injuring several paramedics.

Elsewhere in the Strip, Israeli aircraft launched heavy air raids and artillery shelling on Deir al-Balah and its surroundings overnight. Flares were also fired into the sky over the city.

The attacks coincide with continued Israeli ground incursions into the southern and eastern areas of Deir al-Balah, part of the military operation launched in the early hours of Monday.

In central Gaza, Israeli drones struck homes in Al-Bureij Refugee Camp early Wednesday, as tanks simultaneously opened heavy fire on areas east of the camp. Israeli warplanes also bombed northern parts of Al-Nuseirat.

According to hospital sources in Gaza, 81 Palestinians were killed on Tuesday alone by Israeli fire, including 31 people who were attempting to collect humanitarian aid.
