Gaza rescue teams and medics said Israeli air strikes killed at least 36 people since dawn, including a family of six whose home was struck in Gaza City, AFP reports.

Six members of one family — a couple and their four children — were killed when an air strike levelled their home in northern Gaza City, the civil defence said in a statement.

Nidal al-Sarafiti, a relative of the family, said the strike came as the family was sleeping.

“What can I say? The destruction has spared no one,” he told AFP.
