Rescuers in Gaza have said eight people were killed and several more wounded in Israeli air strikes across the Palestinian territory today, AFP reports.

Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal said five people were killed in a strike on a home in Jabalia, in the north.

Two more people, including a pregnant woman, were killed in an attack targeting tents sheltering displaced people around Nuseirat in central Gaza, he added.

A strike in the main southern city of Khan Younis also killed one person, Bassal said.

Yesterday, the military said it had carried out strikes on more than 100 targets throughout Gaza over the past day.
