Ten killed in Israeli attack on a house in Gaza City as the US says negotiations on a ceasefire in Gaza are continuing.
At least 14 people have been killed by Israeli attacks across Gaza this morning, including 10 when Israeli fighter jets bombed a residential building in Gaza City, amid reports of ceasefire talks inching closer to an agreement.
The attack in Gaza City targeted the Tabatibi family home in the Daraj neighbourhood. Footage showed fires burning in the aftermath of the attack as rescue workers searched for survivors amid the rubble.
Local media reported that the family had fled the house, which was located in the eastern part of Gaza City.
Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, said the house was targeted without any prior warning.
“Civil Defence workers confirmed that the vast majority of bodies were shredded to pieces,” Abu Azzoum said.
