At least 14 Palestinians were killed in the latest Israeli attack on a school sheltering displaced in central Gaza on Wednesday, the Strips' civil defence said, following a night of repeated raids.

Women and children were among the dead in the UNRWA school turned displacement shelter with Israel claiming to have targeted Palestinian fighters. Israel has repeatedly struck schools throughout the war, with four major strikes in the month of August killing dozens of Palestinians.

Tubas and Tulkarm camps in the occupied West Bank also faced major Israeli raids throughout Wednesday, with more than 100 residents from Tulkarm forced to evacuate, local authorities said. Israel has been conducting large-scale operations for over two weeks across Palestinian cities in a bid to root out armed groups.

Shelling was reported in Nuseirat in central Gaza with Palestinian groups reportedly engaged in battles with Israeli forces in Rafah. A fisherman in al-Mawassi was also killed by Israeli navy fire on Wednesday, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Southern Lebanon was heavily bombed by Israeli planes at dawn on Wednesday with the military claiming to have struck some 30 Hezbollah sites. Residents reported buildings shaking and huge flares in the sky.

Hezbollah announced the death of one of its fighters on Wednesday morning, bringing the total number killed to 477 since last October.

The West Bank city of Tubas was subject to another round of raids by Israeli forces on Wednesday continuing a two-week assault on the Palestinian territory that has killed dozens of Palestinians and sparked fear of major conflict in the occupied area.
