Palestinian medical sources said that six children were injured in the two strikes and three of the wounded people are in critical conditions.

“Large number tombs were also damaged by the Israeli missiles,” the radio said, adding that this is the second time the Israeli aircrafts target this cemetery.

In response, Palestinian resistance factions fired a number of rockets on the southern Israeli cities.

Israel said that no one was injured by the rockets, but damage was caused to one of the buildings on the kibbutz.

According to Gaza emergency service, today’s deaths raise to 14 the number of Palestinians killed since Thursday, amid the worst fighting since 2009.

About 31 Palestinians have been killed since Israel’s resumption of attacks on the Strip on March 20.
