Israeli airstrikes across Gaza killed at least 25 people on Friday including children, hospital workers said, as the new US ambassador to Israel made his first public appearance in Jerusalem.

The dead included 15 people killed in three strikes on the southern city of Khan Younis, according to Nasser Hospital, which received the bodies. Ten people were killed in Jabaliya, including eight from the same home according to the Indonesian Hospital, where the bodies were brought.
The strikes came a day after more than two dozen people died in Gaza as Israeli continued attacks, pressuring Hamas to return the hostages and disarm.
US Ambassador Mike Huckabee visited the Western Wall on Friday, the holiest Jewish prayer site in Jerusalem’s Old City. He inserted a prayer into the wall, which he said was handwritten by US President Donald Trump. “Those are his initials, D.T.,” said Huckabee while showing the note to the media.
