Gaza rescuers said a pre-dawn Israeli air strike killed 10 members of the same family, as the UN said dozens of recent attacks on the Palestinian territory had killed only women and children.

“Ten people, including seven children, were brought to the hospital as martyrs following an Israeli air strike that targeted the Farra family home in central Khan Yunis,” civil defence spokesperson Mahmud Bassal told AFP.

The dead and injured were taken to hospital. AFP footage of the aftermath showed several bodies wrapped in white shrouds and blankets. Footage of the house that was hit showed mangled concrete slabs and twisted metal.
