(KUNA) -- Four Palestinian civilians were killed Friday and three others were wounded after Israeli forces shelled a house in the Shujaiya district, eastern Gaza. Palestinian security and medical sources confirmed that those killed and wounded were members of the same family, that of Jabur Harara and that their home had been hit with Israeli cannons very early this morning while they were still asleep. Director of public relations at Shifaa Hospital Dr. Jomaa Al-Saqqa said wounds of three family members were serious, adding that the severed remains of those killed -- the mother, elder son, second son, and cousin -- were burnt and charred.
