TWO Palestinian children — a brother and sister — were killed on Saturday when an Israeli air raid hit their home in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra confirmed that six-year-old Israa Abu Khussa had died of her injuries hours after the attack that had already killed her 10-year-old brother Yasin.

Bomb fragments from the raid on the north-western city of Beit Lahiya hit their home, which was partially destroyed during Israel’s 2014 war on Gaza, also wounding a third sibling.
