Deadly strikes hit Gaza as Israel threatens Lebanon

Israel's brutal war is raging on in the devastated Gaza Strip with more deadly airstrikes, as Israeli officials threatened Lebanon.

Six people were killed in an Israeli attack in Jabalia refugee camp in the enclave's north, according to medical sources cited by official Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Ambulance workers retrieved the corpse of another person slain after bombing in Beit Lahia. Two more bodies were retrieved after Israeli aircraft attacked four homes in Gaza City, Wafa's sources said.

Another home was struck in the Shejaiya neighbourhood of Gaza city, killing five, according to medical sources. Others, including children and women, were killed in southern Gaza's Khan Younis.

Israeli artillery fire also killed more people in the middle of the Palestinian enclave. More than 37,700 people, mostly women and children have been killed as a result of Israel's indiscriminate war on the Gaza Strip since October.

Meanwhile, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant issued a threat to Lebanon during a visit to Washington on Wednesday saying his country could "take Lebanon back to the Stone Age, but we don't want to do it".
