Gaza rescue teams and medics said Israeli air strikes have killed at least 22 people, including a family of six whose home was struck in Gaza City, reports AFP.

Six members of one family — a couple and their four children — were killed when an air strike levelled their home in northern Gaza City, the civil defence said in a statement.

Nine people were killed and several wounded in another strike on a former police station in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza, according to a statement from the Indonesian hospital where the casualties were brought.

Elsewhere, five people died when the tents they had sought refuge in were hit.

Another two people were killed in a strike on a home in the southern city of Khan Younis.
