Gaza’s civil defence agency said an Israeli strike killed at least 17 people at a refugee camp in the centre of the territory, as Israel’s military targets Hamas positions, AFP reports.

“The civil defence teams recovered 17 martyrs, including children, and several others who were wounded from the three-story home of the Abdul Hadi family, which was bombed by a missile from an (Israeli) warplane in Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza,” agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal said in a statement.
