An Israeli airstrike killed at least 14 Palestinians sheltering inside a house in Rafah, in southern Gaza, a Rafah hospital official told CNN.
Among those killed were four women and seven children, according to a list of victims shared by the Abu Youssef al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah.
Emergency workers recovered a number of victims from the rubble of the blown-out house in the northeast neighborhood of Al-Nasr, according to Gaza's Civil Defense. Pictures shared by the Civil Defense showed huge concrete slabs strewn across the site of the attack, where rescue personnel carried shrouded bodies.
