BREAKING: Israeli strike hits a Gaza fruit and vegetable market, 17 killed and 160 wounded

At least 17 people have been killed and 160 wounded in an Israeli strike that hit a fruit and vegetable market near Gaza City, Palestinian officials say.

Hundreds of people were shopping in the market in Shejaiya, a spokesman for the Gaza health ministry said.

The attack came during a four-hour truce called by the Israeli military. Hamas, which controls Gaza, had rejected the truce as meaningless.

Meanwhile, Israel said three more of its soldiers had been killed in Gaza

Every time I think the Israeli government can sink no further, I'm proven wrong. Murderers, they are.
