Gaza’s health ministry reported more than 60 Palestinians killed in Israeli military strikes across the territory overnight.

According to AFP, it said dozens of people were also wounded in what the Gazan media office described as “intense” Israeli strikes and artillery bombardments across the Gaza Strip.

The strikes hit the southern cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, as well as areas around Gaza City, the media office said.

It said two hospitals, a girls’ school and “dozens” of homes were among the targets.
