Gaza’s civil defence agency confirmed that the death toll of an Israeli air strike on a house in Gaza City rose to 11, with the victims all being members of a single family, including women and children, AFP reports.

“We have recovered the bodies of 11 martyrs, including four children and three women, after an Israeli air strike hit the house of the Bustan family in eastern Gaza City,” agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.

The strike took place near the Shujaiya school in the Al-Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City, he said.

“Rescuers are continuing to search for the missing,” Bassal said.

The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the strike.
