“At least 29 Palestinians have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a multi-storey residential building in the east of Gaza City, a local hospital says. The Hamas-run Civil Defence agency said warplanes targeted the area near al-Hawashi mosque in the Shejaiya neighbourhood on Tuesday morning. It said eight children were among the dead, more than 60 people were injured, and that rescuers were still searching for two dozen others under the rubble. The Israeli military said it had struck a ‘senior Hamas terrorist’ who was responsible for planning and executing attacks in the area. Numerous steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of ‘precision weapons,’ it added.” (04/09/24)
