Several civilians have been killed and others injured after Israeli warplanes targeted a residential building belonging to the al-Banna family in the al-Sabra neighbourhood of southern Gaza City, according to local media reports.
Gaza-based notification channels and eyewitnesses say the strike caused extensive damage to surrounding homes, with rescue teams and medics rushing to the scene. Footage shared online shows heavy smoke rising from the area as emergency crews search for survivors beneath the rubble.
The reported attack comes amid a new wave of Israeli air raids across Gaza following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s order for “powerful” strikes on the enclave earlier today.
There has been no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
