Israeli airstrikes overnight and early Sunday killed at least 64 people in the Hamas-run Palestinian territory, said the health ministry in the Palestinian enclave.

It said two journalists were killed when their car was struck. The ministry, medics, and witnesses identified them as Mustafa Thuria, a video stringer for AFP, and Hamza Wael Dahdouh, the son of Al Jazeera’s bureau chief in Gaza.

Israeli bombardment also claimed other civilian lives in the southern city of Khan Younis and in the Rafah area near the Egyptian border, where many of the territory’s displaced people have sought refuge, AFP correspondents reported.

Relatives were mourning the dead at Khan Younis’ European Hospital, among them Mohamed Awad, who wept over the body of a 12-year-old boy and listed other family members killed.

“My brother, his wife, his children, his relatives and the brothers of his wife — there are more than 20 martyrs,” he said.
