Seven Palestinians were killed in several Israeli air strikes earlier today, raising the death toll in five days of violence to 112, Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said.
Qudra said four people died in Jebaliya, in the northern Gaza Strip, and two others further south in Deir el Balah.
Then shortly afterwards, a 17-year-old was killed in a raid on Gaza City, he said.
The latest fatalities raise the death toll to 112 since Israel began Operation Protective Edge early Tuesday in an attempt to halt cross-border rocket fire by militant groups.
