Al Jazeera reported that at least 15 Palestinians, including children, were killed and 20 others wounded in an Israeli attack on a home in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.

The dead and injured were moved to al-Ahli Arab Hospital, said rescuer Mohammed, who provided only his first name. “They were pulled out from beneath the rubble of the targeted house,” he said.

A relative of some of the victims said first responders are still searching for any survivors.

“The house has turned into a pile of debris,” said Jibri Abu Warda, adding the Israeli attack occurred at about 1am (11pm GMT on Tuesday).

“It was a massacre with body parts of children and women scattered everywhere. They were sleeping when the house was bombed,” Warda said. “No one knows why they targeted the house. They were all civilians.”
