Israeli jets carried out a fresh wave of deadly air strikes across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 11 Palestinians, including a 13-year-old boy, medics and witnesses said.
Four people were killed in an air raid near the Sufa crossing, close to the southern town of Rafah late yesterday, said the sources.
Three civilians were also killed in a house east of Khan Yunis in the center of the narrow coastal strip while the 13-year-old died in a strike on the Sabra neighbourhood in southwestern Gaza City, in the north.
Medics said that two suspected militants were also killed in bombing around the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza in a strike that also wounded two cameraman from a Hamas television channel.
At least one person was killed in another attack, in Gaza City's Tel El-Hawa neighbourhood.
The head of Gaza's emergency services Moawiya Hassanein told AFP that the overall Palestinian death toll since the start of Operation Cast Lead on December 27 rose to 1,033 after several people died of wounds.
