Gaza, Feb. 4 (Petra) -- Six Palestinians were killed and others injured early Wednesday after Israeli forces shelled several areas across the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian sources said that two young men and a child were killed when Israeli artillery targeted tents sheltering displaced persons on Yaffa Street in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

The sources added that a four-month-old infant was killed in an Israeli artillery strike on the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Two other Palestinians were also killed when Israeli artillery shelled a tent housing displaced persons in the Qizan Rashwan area, south of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
