Gaza’s civil defence agency says an overnight Israeli strike on the Khan Younis refugee camp killed at least 11 people, including three young children, Al Jazeera reports.

Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal reported 11 Palestinians were killed after the bombardment of the al-Bayram family home in the Khan Younis camp in southern Gaza at 3am.

Eight of the dead were from the same extended family, including a boy and girl, both one-year-olds, and a month-old baby, Bassal said.

One rescuer carried the lifeless body of an infant from the wreckage, video from the scene showed.
