Israeli strikes overnight have killed at least 19 people, including a week-old baby, as Israel faces mounting international pressure over its military offensive, Gaza’s civil defence agency has told AFP.

“Our crews transported 19 dead, most of them children, and dozens of injured following air raids carried out by the Israeli warplanes in various areas of the Gaza Strip last night and early today,” civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal said, naming multiple victims, including the newborn.
