STORYLINE:
Six Palestinians, including a woman and a child, were killed when an Israeli strike hit a car in central Gaza on Sunday, hospital officials said.
The dead were brought to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital where they were counted by Associated Press journalists there.
Relatives mourned over the wrapped bodies, before funeral prayers were held and they were taken away for burial.
Injured men were also seen being carried into the hospital’s emergency department for treatment.
The latest strike on central Gaza came after Israeli forces launched an intense overnight bombardment on the north which left at least 87 people dead or missing.
Israel’s offensive in Gaza has killed over 42,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities, who do not distinguish combatants from civilians.
The war has destroyed large areas of Gaza and displaced about 90% of its population of 2.3 million people.
On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led militants blew holes in Israel’s security fence and stormed in, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting another 250.
Around 100 captives are still being held in Gaza, a third of whom are believed to be dead.
