40 Palestinians killed after collapse of truce.

At least 40 Palestinians were killed and 200 others injured in Israeli shelling in southern Gaza Strip after the collapse of the three-day ceasefire which briefly began on Friday morning, medics reported.

Israel’s announcement comes after one of its army tank’s fire killed eight people in southern Gaza  medics said, just hours after a 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire took effect.
A doctor at a nearby Abu Yusef al-Najjar hospital gave no immediate details of the identities of those killed, but said they had died in a bombardment east of the southern city of Rafah, after an AFP correspondent saw heavy shelling of the area.
