Death toll reaches 33 in Gaza
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza (AP) — Israeli strikes across Gaza over a roughly 12-hour period have resulted in the deaths of 33 people. The strikes late Wednesday and early Thursday have been some of the deadliest since Oct. 10 when the U.S.-brokered ceasefire took effect. Hospital officials said that 17 people were killed following four Israeli airstrikes targeted tents sheltering displaced people. Officials at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City said that two airstrikes on a building killed 16 people. Israel said that it responded with strikes after its soldiers had come under fire in Khan Younis. Hamas condemned the strikes and denied firing toward Israeli troops.
