# At least 104 people, including 46 children, have been killed overnight in Gaza after Israel launched new strikes. It comes after Israel claimed a soldier was killed yesterday afternoon. Israel says the strikes hit 30 terrorists holding command positions within terror organisations in Gaza. US president Donald Trump justified the strikes, saying Israel had the right to launch them following an incident in which Hamas allegedly killed an Israeli soldier during an exchange of gunfire in Rafah. Hamas has denied responsibility for the shooting.
