Nine killed in overnight strikes in Gaza, says hospital

Key points

• At least nine Palestinians were killed in overnight strikes in Gaza, according to local hospitals, even as much of the world's attention was focussed on the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
• The nine people were killed in at least four separate strikes in Gaza city, according to Shifa Hospital, which received the bodies.
• The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strikes.
• Last week, Israel killed the top Hamas military leader, two weeks after strikes that killed his predecessor.
• The fatalities were the latest in the coastal enclave since an October ceasefire deal attempted to halt a more than two-year war between Israel and the Palestinian militant Hamas group in Gaza.
