Israeli military strikes across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 14 Palestinians, at least 10 of them in one house in Gaza City, medics said as tanks pushed deeper towards the western area of Rafah in the south, Reuters reports.

Medics said the Israeli airstrike on the house in the Daraj suburb of Gaza City destroyed the building and damaged nearby houses. Four other people were killed in two separate airstrikes in the city and the town of Beit Lahiya north of the enclave said medics, medics added.

In Rafah, near the border with Egypt, Israeli tanks pushed deeper towards the western area of Mawasi, known as a humanitarian-designated area, residents said.
