Six people have been killed in an Israeli airstrike on a house in Gaza City, a local hospital said on Monday.

The bodies of the six men, who were family members, were recovered from the wreckage of the house in the eastern suburb of Tuffah after the attack, staff at the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City said.

In response to an enquiry, the Israeli military said it would look into the report.

The war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas and allied factions launched the worst attack on Israel in its history, killing 1,200 people and abducting around 250 others.

Israel’s subsequent campaign in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of more than 50,983 people, according to the Hamas-run health authority.

The figures do not distinguish between combatants and civilians, but the majority of those killed are said to be women and children.
