At least 28 Palestinians were killed in latest Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to medical sources. At least three Palestinians, including two children, were killed and others wounded in an Israeli artillery strike that targeted homes in the town of Jabalia al-Nazla in northern Gaza Strip.
