Ten Palestinians have been killed in airstrikes on homes in central Gaza, doctors say

    CAIRO (Reuters) – At least 10 Palestinians, including two children, were killed in Israeli airstrikes on two houses in the Nuseirat refugee camp and the city of Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, doctors told Reuters on Saturday.

    Meanwhile, Gaza's Health Ministry said there was continued intense and heavy bombing of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, which it said occurred in an “unprecedented manner” and without prior warning.

    The hospital is one of only three barely operational medical facilities on the northern edge of the enclave, where the Israeli army has been active since October.
