Israeli strikes have killed at least 12 Palestinians, including nine members of the same family, in northern and central Gaza, Reuters quotes Palestinian Authority’s official news agency Wafa as reporting.

The nine family members were killed in a strike targeting their apartment in the Shejaia neighbourhood in northern Gaza, Wafa said citing medics from the Palestinian Red Crescent.

While at Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, three others were killed, including a child, and several were wounded in an Israeli attack, Wafa added.
