Overnight Israeli strike in Gaza kills 11, including 3 babies, as conflict continues to escalate.
Gaza's civil defence agency said on Saturday that an overnight Israeli strike on the Khan Yunis refugee camp killed at least 11 people, including three babies up to a year old.
Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal reported 11 killed "after the bombardment of the Al-Bayram family home in the Khan Yunis camp" in southern Gaza at around 3:00 a.m. (0000 GMT).
Mr. Bassal said eight of the dead had been identified and were all from the same extended family, including a boy and girl, both one-year-olds, and a month-old baby.
An Israeli army spokesperson confirmed the strike saying the attack targeted a "terrorist Hamas member", without giving further details.
