Israeli attack kills 29 people in Gaza city

At least 29 people were killed and dozens injured after an Israeli airstrike hit a house belonging to the well-known Al-Tabatibi family in eastern Gaza City, according to a local health official. Last month, an Israeli airstrike hit a residential block in central Gaza, killing 35 members of the Al-Tabatibi family.

Another airstrike later hit an apartment building on nearby Yaffa Street, injuring at least three people, he told CNN Mohammad Ghirabah, emergency doctor at Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.

Images from CNN show crushed cars and piles of rubble covering several hollow buildings.

“We were sleeping and suddenly we heard screams and disturbances. Women and children (were) thrown into the street in the middle of the night at 3 am,” said Ziad Dardis, a neighbor.

“They gave us no advance warning about the attack. Most of the dead were women and children. This is the height of all crimes. They are taking revenge on our people,” added Mahmoud Al-Nounou, another neighbor.

A CNN cannot independently verify claims about the attack or victims due to lack of track access. A CNN contacted the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to seek deployment, but has not yet received a response.
