Palestinian Territories: Gaza’s civil defence agency said Wednesday that 13 people had been killed in Israeli air strikes on the Palestinian territory since midnight.

Israel “carried out several air strikes… which resulted in the deaths of 13 people and wounded dozens, including women and children, in Khan Yunes and Gaza City”, Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for the agency, told AFP.

Israel on Tuesday launched its most intense strikes on the Gaza Strip since a January 19 ceasefire between it and Palestinian militants Hamas ended more than 15 months of war.
