At least 15 people were killed Saturday in Israeli strikes on Gaza, according to Gaza's civil defence agency.

The strikes came as Israel intensified its military offensive across the Palestinian enclave.

Gaza's civil defence agency said Israeli strikes killed at least 15 people on Saturday across the Palestinian territory, where Israel has ramped up its military offensive in recent days.

Civil defence agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP the dead included a couple who were killed with their two young children in a pre-dawn strike on a house in the Amal quarter of the southern city of Khan Yunis.

To the west of the city, at least five people were killed by a drone strike on a crowd of people that had gathered to wait for aid trucks, he said.

At Khan Yunis's Nasser Hospital, tearful mourners gathered around white-shrouded bodies outside.

"Suddenly, a missile from an F-16 destroyed the entire house, and all of them were civilians -- my sister, her husband and their children," said Wissam Al-Madhoun.

but never their fighters or their militants.

And since everyone seems to wants Israel to do the honorable thing and cease to exist, this kind of reported is lapped up like a junkie looking for their next fix.

Anything the UN, China, Russia, Trump, and/or the Hamas elected government of Gaza says should be taken with mountains of salt.
