GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israeli airstrikes killed at least six people across the Gaza Strip and destroyed the home of an extended family early Wednesday.
Despite growing international pressure for a cease-fire, the military said it widened its strikes on militant targets in the Palestinian territory’s south to blunt continuing rocket fire from Hamas.Residents surveyed the piles of bricks, concrete and other debris that had once been the home of 40 members of al-Astal family in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis.
