Israeli Strikes Across Gaza Strip Kill More Than 100 Palestinians

Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip killed more than 100 Palestinians overnight and into Sunday, hospitals and medics said, and prompted the main hospital in northern Gaza to close as Israel intensifies its war in the territory that, after more than 19 months, shows no signs of abating.

DEIR AL-BALAH, GAZA STRIP:

More than 48 people were killed in airstrikes in and around the southern city of Khan Younis, some of which hit houses and tents sheltering displaced people, according to Nasser Hospital. Among the dead were 18 children and 13 women, hospital spokesperson Weam Fares said.

In northern Gaza, a strike on a home in the built-up Jabaliya refugee camp killed nine people from a single family, according to the Gaza health ministry's emergency services.

Another strike on a family's residence, also in Jabaliya, killed 10, including seven children and a woman, according to the civil defence, which operates under the Hamas-run government. Israel blames civilian casualties from its operations on Hamas because the militant group operates from civilian areas.
