Twenty killed in central Gaza airstrike

Twenty people in central Gaza were killed following an Israeli airstrike on Sunday as fighting continued to ravage the region over the weekend.

Records from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital showed that 20 people were killed in the airstrike in Nuseirat, which is a Palestinian refugee camp that has been around since the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, The Associated Press (AP) reported. The hospital, located in the nearby town of Deir al-Balah, recovered the bodies, which were mostly women and children. The Palestinian Red Crescent emergency service said that a separate strike in Nuseirat killed an additional five people, according to AP.

The war in Gaza has killed about 35,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry that does not distinguish between civilian and combatant deaths. (The Hill)
