Home bombed in Gaza City

Israeli forces have bombed a home in Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood, killing an unknown number of people and trapping others under the rubble, report our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.

An Israeli strike also hit the city’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, according to their reports, injuring more Palestinians.

The attacks follow an overnight air attack on another home in Gaza City that killed six people, including women and children.
