Hamas officials in Gaza claim Israeli strikes today have killed at least 12 people, including three girls.
Three girls and their father were killed when an airstrike hit their house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, the civil defense agency alleges.
In a separate strike, eight people were killed when their house was struck in the town of Jabalia in northern Gaza. Several more were wounded in that strike, according to the civil defense agency.
There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools and mosques.
