Gaza’s civil defence agency said Israeli strikes overnight and killed at least 28 Palestinians, including at one family’s home and at a school building the military said was used by Hamas, AFP reports.

Civil agency spokesperson Mahmud Bassal said in a statement that at least 13 people were killed in an air strike on a house in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah belonging to the Abu Samra family.

Bassal said that eight people including four children were killed in the attack on the school, which had been repurposed as a shelter for Palestinians displaced by the bombardment.

Bassal said an overnight strike killed three people in Rafah, in the south.

And a drone strike hit a car in Gaza City, killing four people, Bassal said.
