Israeli attack on southern Gaza's Mawasi 'safe zone' kills eight

Al Jazeera is reporting that at least eight Palestinians have been killed in a renewed Israeli attack on the so-called designated 'safe zone' in Mawasi, in southern Gaza.

Al Jazeera's correspondent Hind Khoudary is reporting that Israeli forces targeted the home of the Abu Taha family, killing eight. Civil defence teams say there were dozens of people inside the house and that there are still people trapped under the rubble.

According to local residents, this is the second Israeli air strike to target the area today.
