Gaza’s civil defence agency said that an overnight Israeli air strike targeting a house in Jabalia, in the territory’s north, killed at least 15 people, AFP reports.

“Fifteen people were martyred and more than 20 were injured in this massacre after midnight in a house where displaced people were living in the town of Jabalia,” civil defence agency’s spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP. The Israeli military, when contacted, said it was looking into the reported strike.

Bassal said that those living in the house were members of the Badra, Abu Warda, and Taroush families who had sought refuge there.
