At least two Palestinians have been killed and four others wounded in an Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip.

Gaza hospital sources announced the reception of two bodies late on Monday, along with four other victims who had received medium to critical injuries, after an Israeli tank shelled the eastern Gaza city neighborhood of Shejaeya.

The shelling caused serious damage in the densely populated area, reports say, but there are no more details on the incident.

The latest attack comes two days after the Israeli military launched a series of air raids on Gaza, wounding seven people, including children.
