One strike hit a center for the disabled, killing two patients and wounding four people. In a second attack, an Israeli air strike flattened the home of a cousin of Gaza police chief Taysir al-Batsh and damaged a nearby mosque as evening prayers ended, killing at least 18 people. Fifty were wounded, including al-Batsh himself, who had earlier received warnings that he was an Israeli target and had moved away from his own home. On Sunday, hundreds chanting God is Great joined the funeral procession for 17 members of al-Batshs extended family who were killed. Among the dead were his cousin and her husband, along with the couples seven children, ranging in age from 13 to 28. A neighbor also was killed.
