Israel’s military says it hit more than a hundred targets across Gaza over the past day. Among them was the home of Dr Alaa al-Najjar in Khan Younis. She was working at the Nasser Medical Complex when an Israeli air strike killed nine of her ten children, and seriously injured her 11-year-old son and husband, who’s also a doctor.

There’s been no let-up in the attacks from Israel, with 75 airstrikes reported overnight.
