An Israeli airstrike hit a house in Gaza‘s southernmost city of Rafah, killing at least eight people, including four women and a child, according to Health Ministry officials in Hamas-ruled Gaza.

The strike brings the total number of Palestinians killed by bombing in the last 24 hours to 92, the Health Ministry said.

It was also reported that the overall death toll in nearly five months of the war has risen to 29,606 and the total number of wounded has risen to nearly 70,000.

Although the ministry’s death toll doesn’t distinguish between civilians and combatants, it has said two-thirds of those killed were children and women.
