Gaza’s civil defence agency has said that Israeli strikes killed at least 11 people, including eight members of one family, in the territory where Israel plans to expand its offensive, AFP reports.

Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal said at least one child was among the 11 people killed in Wednesday’s bombardment.

The deadliest strike hit a family home in the southern city of Khan Yunis, where eight members of the Al-Qidra family were killed and 12 others wounded, Bassal said.

The ages of the dead ranged from two years old to 54, he added.

An Israeli air strike on a home in the Jabalia refugee camp, in northern Gaza, killed three people and wounded eight, Bassal said.
