Gaza’s civil defence agency has said that an Israeli strike in the southern city of Khan Younis killed nine children belonging to a pair of married doctors, with the Israeli army saying it was reviewing the reports, according to AFP.

Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal said civil defence “crews transported the bodies of nine child martyrs, some of them charred, from the home of Hamdi al-Najjar and his wife, Alaa al-Najjar, all of whom were their children,” adding that the father and another son were also seriously wounded in the strike yesterday.
