The death toll from an Israeli air attack on the al-Masry family home in the town of Beit Lahiya in besieged northern Gaza has risen to 25, according to the Wafa news agency, Al Jazeera reports.

The report citing medical sources said the victims included 13 children and that more people are still under the rubble.

The area has been under intense bombardment since October 6, when Israel’s military began a sweeping air and ground assault in northern Gaza, focusing on the towns of Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoon.
