At least 12 Palestinians, including six members of one family, have been killed in three separate Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, according to local medics.
Video footage showed the family's apartment on fire overnight in the western al-Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City.
The brother of Firas al-Masri told the BBC that he had been burnt to death along with his wife, Salsabeel, and their three daughters and son, Faryal, Salma, Amira and Naim.
The Israeli military said its target was a Hamas operative and that it was still looking into the results of the attack.
On Tuesday afternoon, another four people were killed in an Israeli air strike on a home in the al-Samar area of central Gaza City, Palestinian media cited medics as saying.
Two more were killed in an Israeli drone strike on a vehicle in the al-Zahra area to the south of Gaza City, they added.
The Israeli military has not yet commented on those strikes.
