At least 19 Palestinians have been killed, including seven children, in Israeli attacks on residential buildings and tents sheltering displaced people across Gaza City since the early morning, medical sources tell Al Jazeera.

The killings come as Israel’s relentless bombing of Gaza marks 700 days since it began on Oct 7, 2023 after the Hamas attacks.
