Israel attacks Gaza City as ceasefire agreement is reached

At least 14 people were killed by Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip this morning, including 10 when Israeli warplanes bombed a residential building in Gaza City, amid reports that ceasefire talks are moving closer to agreement.

The attack in Gaza City targeted the Tabatibi family home in the Daraj neighbourhood. Footage showed fires burning in the aftermath of the attack as rescue workers searched for survivors amid the rubble.

The family had fled the house, which was located in the eastern part of Gaza City.

“The house was targeted without any prior warning,” reports said.

Civil Defence workers confirmed that the vast majority of bodies were shredded to pieces.
