The Wafa news agency reports that eight people have been killed and 15 injured in an attack that targeted tents where displaced Palestinians were sleeping at the Halimah al-Saadiyah School in Jabalia, following a day in which 41 Palestinians were killed across the enclave.
The latest Israeli attacks come as UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that more than 1 million people in central and southern Gaza did not receive any food rations in August. Dijarric described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as "beyond catastrophic”.
Gaza's health ministry on Thursday said 40,878 people had been killed in Gaza since October and 94,454 wounded.
A US citizen was also shot in the head and killed by Israeli forces in Nablus during an activist effort to protect Palestinian farmers, witnesses said.
