Gaza City: Five civilians were killed and several others were wounded in a new airstrike launched by Israeli occupation warplanes on the Shuja'iyya neighborhood east of Gaza City. The attack occurred just hours after occupation forces carried out a massacre in the same area, which resulted in the death of 30 civilians, including eight children, and left at least 50 others wounded.
