GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli airstrikes across the besieged Gaza Strip killed 24 Palestinians overnight Wednesday, a medical official said.
The most recent airstrike hit a car in al-Nafaq street in Gaza City, killing three and injuring four, Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra said.
Bahaa Abu al-Leil, 35, Wisam Qandil and Amir al-Fayoumi were identified as the victims. Islamic Jihad said in a statement that the men were fighters with the al-Quds Brigades.
Early Thursday, Israeli warplanes targeted a building in Khan Younis, killing eight members of the al-Hajj family. Over 30 people were injured in the strike.
Most of the victims were children, al-Qidra said, adding that Israeli forces bombed the building without a warning or asking them to evacuate.
