Israeli jet fighters attacked the Palestinian Ministry of Interior building located in Gaza city; one woman and ten other civilians had been reportedly killed in the attack that took place on Friday afternoon.

Eyewitnesses said that the building collapsed completely, sending a huge fire blaze into the air, flying shrapnel and smoke to the surrounding houses, killing a woman and injuring forty civilians.

Medics said that among those injured were children, adding that the number of killed may rise in the coming few hours since several injures were rated as severe...

Earlier on Friday morning one Palestinian, said to be a fighter, has been reportedly killed and two others wounded, when an Israeli warplane fired a missile on a group of people in northern Gaza Strip.

This latest air strike brings the death toll in Gaza since Monday to 35. Throughout the week, victims of air strikes happened to be civilians, either walking in streets or driving their cars.
