Israeli hit on Gaza refugee camp kills 10

At least 10 member of a Palestinian family – two women and eight children – have been killed by an Israeli air strike on their home in the Shati refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, following the fifth night of relentless bombardment of the besieged enclave.

In the early hours of Saturday, rescue workers were digging through the rubble of the Abu Hatab family home where more people are believed to be buried.

At least 15 people were also wounded in the air raid, including an infant named Omar.

Nabil Abu Al Reesh, a doctor treating survivors at al-Shifa Hospital, said responders are “still trying to recover more bodies and figure out who is who”.

“This is truly a massacre that cannot be described,” he said.
