Gaza’s civil defence agency has said Israeli strikes killed 17 people in the Palestinian territory, as Israel’s military said it was pressing on with its operations.
Agency spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that eight people — including a pregnant woman — were killed in a single strike at 2am (4am PKT) in Gaza City’s Tel Al-Hawa neighbourhood.
Two others died in separate strikes in the city, three in the southern town of Bani Suheila, and four near a food distribution centre in central Gaza, he added.
Israel’s military said troops were “deepening their operational activity” in the Gaza City area and the north, including the Jabaliya area.
“Over the past day, the troops dismantled dozens of terrorist infrastructure sites and located weapons in the southern Gaza Strip,” a statement read.
