Gaza’s civil defence spokesperson says Israeli forces are “carrying out cleansing and extermination operations throughout the Gaza Strip”, Al Jazeera reports.

Israeli troops committed “a massacre” in southern al-Mawasi, killing 12 people. Another 10 Palestinians were killed in the northern Jabalia refugee camp, spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said.

“The [Israeli] occupation fires on every spot in the Gaza Strip amid catastrophic conditions,” said Basal.
