Eighteen killed in Israeli strike in Gaza mosque

An apparent Israeli airstrike killed 18 people in central Gaza on Sunday morning, Palestinian medical authorities said. The strike hit a mosque which was sheltering displaced people near the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the town of Deir al-Balah, the hospital said in a statement.

The hospital records showed that all the deceased were men. Two people have been critically injured.

According to the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Health Ministry, the death toll in Gaza since October 7 2023 has risen to nearly 42,000.

Meanwhile, Hamas said on Saturday that an Israeli strike on a refugee camp in north Lebanon had killed Hamas official Saeed Atallah Ali and his family. Hamas later said another military wing member was killed in an Israeli strike in Lebanon’s eastern Bekaa Valley. (Hindustan Times)
