Israeli airstrikes killed at least 33 Palestinians in Gaza, hospital officials say, after the military said it had struck over 100 terror targets in the embattled enclave in the past day.
Twenty people were killed and 25 wounded after Israeli strikes hit two houses in Gaza City, according to Mohammed Abu Selmia, the director of Shifa Hospital that serves the area.
In southern Gaza, 13 Palestinians were killed by strikes in Mawasi, an area on Gaza’s Mediterranean where many displaced people live in tents, officials at Nasser Hospital in nearby Khan Younis tell The Associated Press. Five of the dead belonged to the same family, according to the hospital.
The figures offered by hospital officials do not distinguish between combatants and civilians.
The military had no immediate comment on the individual strikes, but said it struck 130 terror targets across the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours.
It said the strikes targeted Hamas command and control structures, storage facilities, weapons, and launchers, and that they killed a number of terror operatives in northern Gaza.
