- Deir Al-Balah (Gaza
Strip) — Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 15
people, including 10 women and children, overnight and into Sunday, according
to local health officials.

- Israel ended its ceasefire with Hamas and renewed its air
and ground war last month. It has carried out out waves of strikes and seized
territory in order to pressure the militants to accept a new deal for a truce
and hostage release. It has also blocked the import of food, fuel and
humanitarian aid.

- The latest strikes hit a tent and a house in the southern
city of Khan Younis, killing five men, five women and five children, according
to Nasser Hospital, which received the bodies.

October 7, 2023, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage. Fifty-nine
hostages are still being held in Gaza — 24 of whom are believed to be alive —
after most of the rest were released in ceasefires or other deals.

- Israel's offensive has killed at least 50,695 Palestinians,
according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which does not say how many were civilians
or combatants. It says another 115,338 people have been wounded. Israel says it
has killed around 20,000 militants, without providing evidence.
