Three Palestinian citizens including two brothers have been killed on Thursday morning in an Israeli artillery attack on Beit Hanoun in the north of the Gaza Strip.

Local sources reported that Israeli tanks shelled a crowd of civilians in east of Beit Hanoun killing three of them and wounding many others.

The tanks kept shelling the targeted area which hindered the arrival of ambulances to evacuate the victims.

An official source from the ambulance and emergency committee said this morning that the ambulances failed to reach the area to evacuate the wounded because of the continued artillery shelling.
