Palestinian medics say Israeli strikes have killed at least 12 people in the Gaza Strip, mostly women and children. The nearly 15-month war ground on into the new year with no end in sight. One strike hit a home in the Jabaliya area of northern Gaza, the most isolated and heavily destroyed part of the territory, where Israel has been waging a major operation since early October. Gaza’s Health Ministry says seven people were killed, including a woman and four children, and that at least a dozen other people were wounded. Another strike overnight into Wednesday in central Gaza killed a woman and a child, and a third strike killed another three people, according to the hospitals that received the bodies.
