Gaza’s civil defence agency has said Israeli strikes killed at least 17 people across the territory, while more trapped under the rubble after a family home was hit.

“Israeli air strikes in several areas killed 17 people since dawn,” civil defence official Mohammed Al-Mughayyir told AFP.

A strike on the house of Al-Khour family in Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood killed 10 people, Mughayyir said, with witnesses reporting an estimated 20 victims trapped beneath the rubble.
