Children among 8 killed in Israeli strike, say Gaza rescuers

# Gaza’s civil defence agency reported that an Israeli air strike earlier today on a house and a tent sheltering displaced people killed at least eight, including five children. This comes as Palestinians observed the first day of Eid al-Fitr.  The strike occurred as both Hamas and Israel acknowledged receiving a new truce proposal from mediators aimed at halting hostilities in Gaza during the holiday.  Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen after it activated air raid sirens across multiple areas of the country.
