GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Palestinian medics and doctors say 23 Palestinians have been killed since midnight in Israel's ground offensive.
They say three of the dead were Hamas fighters and the rest civilians.
Dr. Said Judeh of the Kamal Adwan hospital in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya says eight people were killed in an Israeli artillery strike Sunday. He says they were among a group of people trying to leave their homes for refuge in a nearby school.
Beit Lahiya is scene of some of the heaviest fighting.
Judeh and Health Ministry official Moawiya Hassanain say five members of the same family were killed in two separate artillery hits on their home. Hassanain says that in the southern town of Rafah, a man and two teenage sons were killed in an Israeli airstrike.
