DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — An Israeli airstrike flattened a three-story home in Gaza City on Saturday, killing 10 people — half of them children — as Arab mediators scrambled to restart a ceasefire.
Israeli strikes killed at least 49 people in the past 24 hours, according to health officials.
Israel’s military said that it had struck a Hamas militant and the structure where he operated collapsed, adding that the collapse was under review.
“There is no one from the resistance among them,” said Saed Al-Khour, who lost his family in the strike.
“Since 1 o’clock until now we have been pulling out the remains of children, women and elderly people.”
Hamas said Saturday that it had sent a high-level delegation to Cairo to try and get the ceasefire, shattered last month by Israeli bombardment, back on track.
Israel has vowed to continue the war until all hostages are returned and Hamas is destroyed or disarmed and sent into exile. »
