        Israeli strikes killed at least 12 Palestinians, including nine members of the same family, in northern and central Gaza.
        
        The Palestinian Authority's official news agency WAFA reported citing medics from Palestinian Red Crescent, the nine family members were killed in a strike targeting their apartment at the Shejaia neighbourhood in northern Gaza.
        
        While at Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, three others were killed, including a child, and several were wounded in an Israeli attack, WAFA added.
        
        Hamas-led militants stormed through Israeli towns and kibbutz villages near the border on Oct. 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking about 250 as hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
        
        Israel's subsequent offensive in Gaza has killed nearly 42,000 Palestinians, according to the enclave's health ministry, displaced nearly all its 2.3 million people - many of them multiple times - and wrought a humanitarian crisis with hunger widespread and healthcare and critical infrastructure breaking down.
