Five members of a family have been killed after a tank shell fired by Israeli forces landed in a house in an eastern neighborhood of Gaza City.

The incident happened on Monday morning amid Israel's ongoing incursion into the Gaza Strip, Ashraf Shannon, Press TV correspondent in Gaza says.

The victims of the Israeli attack included four children.

Last night an Israeli air raid killed nine members of the same family in a costal refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.

The latest death brings the number of Palestinians killed in Israel's ground incursion to 85 among them 33 children.

Israel started a ground incursion into the coastal strip late Saturday after a week of heavy bombardment and artillery shelling.
