Gaza City, Palestinian Territories (ANTARA News/AFP) - A Palestinian family of four died in one Israeli attack Monday while two brothers were killed in another on the bloodiest day of the Gaza campaign, bringing the six-day death toll to 109.

The latest raids brought to 32 the number of Palestinians killed Monday, with the day`s offensive including an attack on Gaza City`s Shuruq tower media centre -- the second time the building has been targeted -- which killed one person.

Islamic Jihad sources named him as Ramez Harb and said he was a senior commander in its armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigades.

In the latest incidents Monday, a family of four -- including two toddlers, one four years old and the other 18 months old -- were killed in a strike on a house in the northern Gaza village of Beit Lahiya, medical sources said.

Medics identified the father as Fuad Hijazi, 40, and his wife by her first name, Amna.

Medical sources said a 50-year-old farmer named Abdel Rahman al-Atar had also been found dead in the town.

Two brothers aged 15 and 17 whose names were not immediately clear were also killed in a raid on the town of Rafah near the Egyptian border, the Palestinian ambulance service said.

Israel`s army does not comment on Palestinian casualty claims.

Elsewhere, four people died in a bombing of the Nusseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, medics said, and another Palestinian was killed east of Nusseirat in a separate strike.

There was no immediate word on the identities of the other victims.

Also during the afternoon, one person was killed and another two wounded when a missile struck a car just north of Gaza City, medics said, without identifying those killed.

Medics said Ramadan Mahmud, 22, had died of injuries suffered in Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday.

Another three people succumbed to injuries sustained in the violence, but the health ministry could not immediately provide details on their identities.

In another attack, a missile hit a motorcycle east of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, killing two men and critically wounding a child who was with them, Gaza`s ambulance service said.

The two were named as Abdullah Abu Khater, 30, and Mahmud Abu Khater, 32.

An earlier strike on Qarara in the same area killed two farmers, Ibrahim al-Astal and Obama al-Astal, medics said.

In a strike on southern Gaza City, a car was hit, killing one man and injuring another three, officials said, naming the dead man as Mohammed Shamalah, 23.
