At least 23 killed by Israeli strikes on Gaza

At least 23 people were killed by Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Sunday,  rescuers told the AFP. 

An air strike on a house in northern Gaza's Sheikh Radwan area killed at least 11 people early Sunday, according to Civil Defence agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal. He said the victims included women and children.

"Rescuers are still searching for five people trapped under the rubble of the house," he said, adding his crew members were using "bare hands" in the effort.

The Israeli military said Sunday it had struck more than 100 targets in Gaza over the past two days, in an escalation of its offensive. 

In one strike, five people died when the house of the Abu Jarbou family was struck in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, rescuers said.
