Seven of the deaths were members of a single family, including three children, health officials say
Twenty-four people, including nine children, have died in Gaza, the enclave’s health ministry has announced, following all-night airstrikes from the Israeli military, which accused Palestinian militants of launching more than 200 rockets.
After weeks of intense violence in Jerusalem, Hamas, an Islamist group that rules inside Gaza, fired a barrage of rockets towards the holy city on Monday evening, believed to be the first time it had targeted the city in more than seven years.
