No fewer than 27 people were reportedly killed in the Israeli strikes which continued throughout Gaza overnight.
Palestinian officials said 27 people killed in two separate Israeli strikes, according to a BBC report.
The Palestinian interior ministry said 17 people in northern Gaza.
Israeli strikes have continued throughout Gaza overnight- One hit a house in Jabalia while another hit an apartment in the Al-Faluga neighbourhood this morning,’ officials said.
Another 10 were killed in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, the ministry added.
Overnight there were 60 air strikes in this so-called safe area in Khan Younis, where Israel asked us to go.
But the most intense air strikes were around Al-Quds hospital in Gaza City – where the director of the hospital, for the third time, received a call from Israeli intelligence asking them to evacuate the hospital.
According to BBC report, there are 500 patients in the hospital. Another 1,500 people are sheltering in the hospital – they decided not to leave because he said there is no place to go.
The hospital official said there were 10 strikes within 100 metres of the hospital.
Israel’s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant had warned that the military’s campaign in Gaza “may take a month, two or three, but at the end there will be no more Hamas”.
