At least 18 Palestinians were killed early Thursday in Israeli bombardments and gunfire across the Gaza Strip, medical sources told Anadolu.

Among the victims were three Palestinians waiting for aid, who were targeted by Israeli forces south of Khan Younis.

In central Gaza, seven members of the Abu al-Aish family were killed when Israeli strikes hit their tent in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

In Gaza City, Israeli warplanes bombed a family home in the al-Sabra neighborhood, killing three Palestinians and wounding others.

Four Palestinians, including three children, were killed when Israeli forces struck a tent sheltering displaced families in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in southwestern Gaza.

In Deir al-Balah, one Palestinian was shot dead and others were wounded by Israeli forces southeast of the city.

The Israeli army has launched a brutal military offensive on the Gaza Strip, killing more than 63,700 Palestinians in Gaza. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Premier Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
