Israeli airstrikes kill 42 including children, topple buildings in Gaza City

At least 42 Palestinians, including 10 kids, were killed in Gaza City early Sunday in the deadliest night of airstrikes between Israel and Hamas.

Israeli rockets hit a busy downtown street of residential buildings and storefronts over the course of five minutes just after midnight, completely flattening at least three buildings. The 42 killed included 16 women and 10 children, the Gaza Health Ministry said. Of the 188 Palestinians killed so far in Gaza, nearly a third — 55 — have been children, while 33 are women. At least 1,230 people have been wounded.
