Recent Israeli airstrikes cause multiple fatalities across the Gaza Strip

Recent Israeli military strikes across the Gaza Strip have resulted in at least 12 deaths, according to Palestinian health officials. An airstrike in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killed at least eight people, including mourners at a funeral, and injured 20 others. Separate strikes were reported in areas including Deir al-Balah, Gaza City, Khan Younis, and the Al-Bureij refugee camp, claiming further lives, including minors. Witnesses stated that Israeli forces utilized drones to broadcast evacuation orders to residents in areas east of Deir al-Balah. Since the October ceasefire, health authorities report that over 1,100 Palestinians have been killed in ongoing Israeli operations. While the Israeli military provided comments on some specific incidents, claiming to target militant infrastructure or specific fighters, it did not provide immediate feedback on several other strikes. Meanwhile, Hamas leadership has been engaged in ceasefire negotiations in Cairo regarding the second phase of a proposed peace plan. Hamas has condemned the Nuseirat incident as a massacre and appealed for international intervention.
