A group of Gaza militants that includes the enclave’s rulers Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, both designated by the U.S. as terror groups, took responsibility for the rocket fire. The militants said they had retaliated for Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday that killed senior Islamic Jihad commanders and civilians in the Gaza Strip.

JABALIA CAMP, Gaza Strip—A fire in a residential building in the Gaza Strip killed 21 people at a family gathering, including many children, Palestinian officials said, in one of the enclave’s deadliest incidents in recent years outside of its conflict with Israel. The blaze began in a multistory building Thursday night in the crowded Jabalia refugee camp and spread fast due to a large amount of gasoline being stored there, said the ministry, which didn’t clarify how the fire started.
