STORYLINE:
An Israeli airstrike that hit a house in central Gaza early Tuesday killed a mother and her five children, hospital authorities said.

The attack took place in Block 9 in the urban Bureij refugee camp.

The dead were taken to the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the town of Deir al-Balah.

An Associated Press journalist counted the dead bodies there.

A list provided by the hospital’s morgue showed that the dead included a mother, her daughter and four sons.

The children’s father was a school teacher and has been been detained by the Israeli military for nine months, according to information provided by the hospital.

The Health Ministry, meanwhile, said Tuesday the bodies of 34 people killed by Israeli strikes have been brought to local hospitals over the past 24 hours.

Hospitals also received 114 wounded, it said in its daily report.

The overall Palestinian death toll from Israel’s war in Gaza rose to at least 40,173, the ministry said. Another 92,857 have been wounded, it said.
