Seventy-three Palestinians were killed and 99 injured by Israeli forces and airstrikes in Gaza in the past 24 hours, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says.
That number includes eight people killed in an apparent strike near Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza, the ministry says.
There is no immediate IDF comment on the strike.
Hamas says 22,835 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war. The figures do not differentiate between civilian and combatant deaths or those killed by the hundreds of rockets fired by terror groups that fell in the Strip. Israel estimates that about 8,500 terrorists have been killed since it launched its ground offensive into Gaza in late October.
