Gazan sources report ongoing airstrikes in several areas of the Strip, as an overnight bombardment appears to continue apace.

Attacks by Israeli aircraft are reported around Khan Younis in Gaza’s south, as well as several areas south of Gaza City near the northern end of the Strip.

At least 10 deaths are reported in the strikes. Quds news, a Gazan outlet linked to Hamas, says the death toll in the renewed Israeli offensive is up to 429. Hamas-controlled health authorities had earlier put the death toll at 408.

Neither figure can be confirmed.

There is no comment from the Israeli military. Israeli officials said Tuesday that the army was only firing on terror targets.
