At least 24 people have been killed in the latest attacks carried out by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported on Sunday, citing medical sources.

Three people were killed in an attack in Bureij camp and there were deaths and injuries in the Nuseirat refugee camp and in the area around Khan Yunis, it said.

The Israeli military said it had attacked terrorists in a Hamas command centre in the Khan Yunis area. It had also hit a fighter who was attacking from the humanitarian zone in Deir al-Balah, it said.

The information from both sides could not initially be independently verified.

Israel has been waging war on Gaza since the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel in which 1,200 people were killed and some 250 abducted to Gaza.

Much of the Gaza Strip has since been rendered uninhabitable amid the fighting and more than 45,800 people have been killed according to Palestinian estimates.
