MORE deaths were recorded in Gaza today following the killing of at least 17 people, including five children, by Israeli air strikes overnight.

One attack hit a family home in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, killing children aged from two to 11.

The bodies were dismembered by the blast and the two-year-old was decapitated, according to an Associated Press news agency reporter.
