Gaza rescuers say 18 Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes

Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that rescuers worked through the night, recovering the bodies of 18 people, while dozens more were injured in the "ongoing aggression and Israeli aerial and artillery bombardment" across Gaza. Bassal reported that the dead included four people killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a house in central Gaza City. Another four were killed, and eight injured, when an Israeli missile struck a tent sheltering dozens of displaced people in Deir el-Balah city, in central Gaza.
