In one attack, against a house in Jabalia in northern Gaza, at least 25 people were killed, including 13 children, according to civil defense reports. Five more people are reported to have been killed in an attack on an area in Gaza City.
The civil defense in Gaza, like all authorities there, is under the Islamist movement Hamas.
The news agency Wafa, which is under the Palestinian authority on the occupied West Bank, reports a higher death toll from the attack in Jabalia and writes that more people are missing there.
Continued attacks
The Israeli military says on Sunday that it has attacked locations around Jabalia in northern Gaza, where an offensive has been ongoing for weeks. It claims that "dozens of terrorists" have been killed by Israeli forces and that the military has "destroyed terrorist infrastructure and an arms depot" in the area.
On Saturday, at least 14 people were killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip. In one attack, tents with Palestinian internally displaced persons in the southern parts of Khan Yunis were hit. Among the dead were both women and children, according to Gaza's civil defense authority.
7 out of 10 women and children
Nearly 70 percent of all those killed in Gaza are women and children, writes the UN's human rights organization OHCHR in a report released on Friday. The report is based on over 8,100 verified deaths that occurred during the war's first six months.
Several Israeli violations of international law are also highlighted. According to OHCHR, several of them may meet the definition of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and possibly even genocide.
Around 80 percent of the UN-verified deaths occurred in Israeli attacks on residential houses.
The authorities in Gaza count at least 43,500 people killed in Israeli attacks during the war that has been ongoing for over a year, which followed the Islamist movement Hamas' attacks on Israel on October 7 last year.
