An Israeli airstrike on a house in Gaza's southernmost city killed at least nine people, including six children. Hospital authorities confirmed the casualties as Israel continued its nearly seven-month offensive in the besieged Palestinian territory.
The strike late Friday targeted a residential building in Rafah's western Tel Sultan neighborhood, as reported by Gaza's civil defense. The bodies of the six children, two women, and a man were transported to Rafah's Abu Yousef al-Najjar hospital, according to The Associated Press.
