Hamas’s civil defense agency says Israeli airstrikes killed at least 30 Palestinians, including women and children, in the central Nuseirat district.

Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal, who Israel has accused of being an active Hamas operative, says the strikes were carried out overnight and into the morning and “targeted a number of citizens’ homes” in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

The local Al-Awda hospital says it received “the bodies of 30 martyrs, including 14 women and 12 children.”

The toll cannot be verified.

There is no immediate comment from the IDF.
