Strikes on Gaza kill 18 and stabbing in Israel kills 2AP, TEL AVIV, IsraelIsraeli strikes early yesterday killed 18 people in Gaza, including four who were sheltering in a tented camp for displaced Palestinians inside a hospital complex, while a Palestinian militant fatally stabbed two people in a Tel Aviv suburb. Tensions have soared following nearly 10 months of war in Gaza and the killing of two senior militants in separate strikes in Lebanon and Iran last week. Palestinians run toward a column of smoke following an Israeli bombardment in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City on Saturday. Another strike flattened a house in northern Gaza, killing at least eight people, including three children, their parents and their grandmother, the health ministry said. Another three people were killed in a strike on a vehicle in Gaza City, said the Civil Defense — first responders who operate under the Hamas-run government.
