At least 24 Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes

Six people, including four children, died yesterday after explosions shattered the narrow Gaza strip.

However, the Israeli military denied responsibility, claiming a failed Islamic Jihad rocket launch caused the explosion.

The recent bloodshed began on Friday after Israel targeted the senior commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Its airstrikes continued through the night and killed a number of civilians, including a five-year-old girl who died alongside her cousin.

At least 24 Palestinians, including six children, have been killed and 203 wounded during the two days of firing, according to the Gaza health ministry.

Palestinian militants reportedly fired back with over 400 rockets, though Israel said most of them were intercepted.
