STORYLINE:
Civil defense workers in the urban refugee camp of Nuseirat in central Gaza were sifting through the rubble of destroyed buildings, looking for survivors, after Israeli strikes overnight hit the area.
The airstrike in Nuseirat, a built-up Palestinian refugee camp in central Gaza dating back to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, killed 20 people, including eight women and four children, according to records at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the nearby town of Deir al-Balah, which received the bodies.
A separate strike on a street in Nuseirat killed another five people, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service.
In Deir al-Balah, a strike killed Zahed al-Houli, a senior officer in the Hamas-run police, and another man, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
Fighting raged across the north of Gaza on Sunday as Israel’s leaders aired divisions over who should govern Gaza after the war, now in its eighth month.
Israel launched its offensive after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack, in which Palestinian militants stormed into southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting some 250.
The war has killed at least 35,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Around 80% of the population of 2.3 million Palestinians have been displaced within the territory, often multiple times.
