At least 14 Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrike on a home in Rafah, according to hospital

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.

Crews rescued a woman from the rubble of the house, according to Gaza's Civil Defense. It transported "a number of injured people," according to a statement on Friday.

Asked for a response by CNN, the Israel Defense Forces said it did not have the required information to comment on the attack, despite being provided by CNN with the date, time and a rough location of the strike.
