Gaza's civil defense agency said an Israeli strike on a residential building in the Shujaiya area of Gaza City killed at least 20 people on Wednesday, as the military said they were looking into the attack.

The agency's spokesman Mahmud Bassal said the strike resulted in "20 martyrs and more than 40 injured" and the search for bodies in the rubble was ongoing.

The Israeli military said it targeted a senior Hamas militant "who was responsible for planning and executing terrorist attacks" from the area. It did not give the target's name.
