ISRAELI air strikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least eight people, including two children aged seven and nine and their parents, Palestinian officials said today.

The latest Israeli killing spree comes as a Lebanese government minister close to Hezbollah said his country was about to give its “positive position” on a new plan to pause the fighting with Israel.

But in the southern city of Khan Younis, a 10-year-old child was wounded when the Israelis attacked a tent where displaced people were sheltering, according to the Civil Defence.
