Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip overnight and into today killed at least 27 Palestinians, according to local health officials from Hamas-controlled authorities.

There is no comment from the Israeli military.

The figures cannot be independently verified and do not differentiate between civilians and combatants.

Israel has said it seeks to minimize civilian fatalities and stresses that Hamas uses Gaza’s civilians as human shields, fighting from civilian areas including homes, hospitals, schools, and mosques. Palestinian civilians say nowhere in Gaza is safe.
