Palestinian media, citing the Hamas-run Gaza Civil Defense agency, reports that an Israeli strike in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood has trapped some 40 people under rubble.
Civil Defense says the bodies of four were recovered from the building that was targeted, “and more than 40 people are still under the rubble.”
The IDF has not yet commented.
The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, announced earlier today and expected to be ratified soon, has not yet taken effect.
