Among the victims were six people from family in Khan Younus, journalist Bahaeddin al-Gharib and his daughter Ula in Rafah, child Hanan al-Hennawi in Haza city, and seven people from one family in the center of Gaza Strip.
Six year-old child Zaher al-Najjar who was wounded by the Israeli aggression succumbed to his wounds in a hospital in Jerusalem, while a child was rescued from underneath the ruins of a house that was destroyed by Israeli shelling at dawn in Rafah.
News agencies reported that at least eight civilians were killed in an Israeli shelling of Jabalya area.
The Israeli aggression also put the sole power station in the Gaza Strip out of commission after artillery shells hit it, causing a massive fire which fire fighters were unable to extinguish as of the time the incident was reported.
