Nine civilians were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a family home of al-Askari family in the Tal al-Zaatar area in northern Gaza as Israel’s military assault continues across the besieged Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.

An Israeli air strike also hit the UNDP premises in Gaza City’s Nasr neighbourhood, where hundreds of people had been sheltering, causing more casualties.

Following an Israeli bombing in the vicinity of Mahdi Maternity Hospital in the Nasr neighbourhood, two doctors were killed and several displaced individuals were injured.

Similarly, numerous people were killed when an Israeli airstrike targeted the Rantisi family home in the Shaboura refugee camp in Rafah, as well as the Abu Abda family in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
