Gaza’s civil defence agency has said that Israeli strikes have killed at least 24 people across the Palestinian territory today, AFP reports.

The civil defence agency said in a statement that 11 bodies were brought to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central Gaza Strip, after Israel struck a family home in Deir el-Balah city during the night.

A seven-year-old boy and three teenagers were among the dead, the agency said.

A separate strike targeted a school building used as a shelter for war-displaced Palestinians in Gaza City, killing seven people and injuring several others, it added.

A third strike at dawn hit a house in the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp, killing six people and injuring seven, the agency concluded.
