Dozens of people were killed and injured in an Israeli attack on a house in Jabalia, in the north of the Gaza Strip, in the early hours of Sunday (10), Palestinian doctors said.
Images circulating on social media, which Reuters could not immediately verify, showed about a dozen bodies wrapped in blankets and lying on the floor of a hospital. Residents said the affected building housed at least 30 people.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA and Hamas media put the number of people killed at 32. There was no immediate confirmation of the count from the territory’s health ministry.
