AT LEAST 15 people have been killed by overnight Israeli strikes in Gaza, according to the Palestinian territory’s civil defence agency.
Israel’s expanded operations in Gaza has created dire humanitarian conditions, killing thousands of people and displacing nearly all of the territory’s population of more than two million.
Official Mohammad al-Mughayyir told AFP that seven people, including a child, were killed in an Israeli air strike on displaced people’s tents near the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis.
Mughayyir said eight more people were killed in two other strikes on tent encampments on the coast of Khan Younis, including one that killed two children early this morning.

The Israeli military said it could not comment on specific attacks without precise coordinates, but noted it was “operating to dismantle Hamas military capabilities”.
On Thursday, the agency reported that 73 people were killed in Israeli strikes.
Media restrictions in Gaza and difficulties in accessing many areas mean AFP is unable to independently verify the tolls and details provided by the civil defence.

It comes after US President Donald Trump said Israel had agreed to a 60-day ceasefire with Hamas that could lead to the release of hostages remaining in Gaza.
