Israeli warplanes and quadcopters continued attacks across Gaza overnight, with Al Jazeera Arabic and local Palestinian media describing them as “non-stop”.

Three people were reported killed in an Israeli attack on a family home in the Sabra area of Gaza City.

Israeli helicopter gunships and quadcopters, together with artillery, were reported east of the Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City.

In central Gaza, a residential home was attacked in Deir el-Balah and a helicopter fired near Netzarim. Israeli helicopter fire and artillery shelling were also reported east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

Shooting by Israeli ground forces was reported northwest of Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, Al Jazeera added. It further said Israeli warplanes raided the al-Mawasi area to the west of Khan Younis and bombed a home in Deir el-Balah.
