Rescue workers have saved the baby of a heavily pregnant Palestinian woman who was killed in an Israeli attack in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian media reported.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported on Saturday, citing the al-Awda hospital in Nueseriat, that the child had been delivered in an emergency operation. The newborn is now being treated at the hospital in the central Gaza Strip and is said to be in stable condition, the agency reported.

Palestinian media reported that a total of eight people had been killed in the Israeli army attack on a residential building in the refugee neighbourhood in the coastal strip. An Israeli army spokesperson said on enquiry that the reports were being investigated.
