Israeli strike kills nine Palestinians, with children among them

The Quds News Network is reporting that nine people have been killed, four of them children, in an Israeli air strike on Gaza's al-Nasr area, northeast of Rafah in the southern part of the enclave.

With 68 people killed earlier on Wednesday, it is shaping up to be the deadliest day for Palestinians since Israel resumed its war on the strip on 18 March.
