Gaza\u2019s Al-Shifa hospital confirmed it had received the five bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Israeli military spokeswoman said a strike had been carried out in Gaza City on Saturday \u201ctargeting a Hamas terrorist\u201d. She said the military was still assessing the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gaza resident Mousa Al-Aimawi said the strike came without warning. \u201cSuddenly there was a missile hitting the building. No one knew, no one, no warning, nothing,\u201d he said. \u201cThey hit it without caring that there are civilians, children, women, girls.\u201d Mohammed Kali, who lives in the same building, said he saw several people lying on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere were bodies scattered on the ground \u2014 women and children dead, and elderly people too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Footage from the scene showed large sections of the building\u2019s facade torn away, as rescue teams helped the wounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Onlookers picked through shattered concrete blocks and twisted metal, searching for any belongings that could be salvaged. Three more people were killed when an Israeli air strike hit a group of civilians in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City, the agency reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al-Shifa hospital confirmed it had received the three bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Health officials said two other people were killed elsewhere in Israeli attacks in Gaza. The military did not offer an immediate comment on those attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Violence has persisted despite the ceasefire. Before Friday\u2019s casualties, at least 1,144 Palestinians had been killed since the truce took effect last October, according to Gaza\u2019s health ministry, which operates under Hamas authority and whose figures are considered reliable by the United Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Israeli military says it has lost five soldiers in Gaza over the same period, as well as one civilian contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Restrictions imposed on media outlets and limited access in Gaza prevent from independently verifying tolls or freely covering the violence there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GAZA CITY(National Times)- Gaza\u2019s civil defence and hospitals said Israeli attacks on Saturday killed 10 people across the territory, among them three children and their parents.
