KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Rescuers have pulled a 25-day old baby girl alive from the rubble of her home in Gaza’s Khan Younis after an airstrike killed her parents and brother. The girl, Ella Osama Abu Dagga, was born in the midst of a tenuous ceasefire that many Palestinians in Gaza had hoped would mark the end of a war that has devastated the enclave, killed tens of thousands and displaced nearly its entire population. Israel resumed heavy strikes across Gaza on Tuesday. Nearly 600 people have been killed in Gaza since then, including more than 400 on Tuesday alone, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
