Gaza health officials say ‘Israeli’ strikes kill 11

Gaza health officials said ‘Israeli’ strikes on Saturday killed at least 11 people, including four members of the same family, in the latest violence to rock the Palestinian territory despite a ceasefire.

‘Israel’ and Hamas trade near-daily accusations of truce violations and the Gaza Strip remains gripped by bloodshed as progress on permanently ending the war remains stalled.

An overnight ‘Israeli’ airstrike on an apartment building in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City killed four members of the Al-Safadi family, including the husband, wife and their two daughters, according to the civil defence agency, a rescue service that operates under Hamas authority.

It said the strike also injured 12 others.

Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital confirmed receiving the bodies of four members of the Safadi family, including two children.

Al-Shifa hospital, meanwhile, said it had received one body following a separate ‘Israeli’ drone strike near an intersection in the north of Gaza City.

Later on Saturday, six more people were killed in separate ‘Israeli’ attacks, including three when an ‘Israeli’ aircraft targeted a house in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, the civil defence agency reported.

It said the three killed included a local Palestinian journalist working with Qatar-based Al Jazeera.

Ahmed Wishah was a cameraman for the channel, the network said, which condemned "the continuation of these crimes" against its journalists.

The military, however, claimed he was a "Hamas terrorist".

The ‘Israeli’ military did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the other deaths, which were confirmed by Gaza hospitals.

At least 1,012 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire took effect on October 10 last year, according to the territory's health ministry, whose figures are considered reliable by the United Nations.
