The Israeli military accused Palestinian militant groups of exploiting civilians and civil properties for military purposes, an allegation Hamas and other factions deny.

At least 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, health officials and first responders say. Nine people died in the morning when a missile hit a police station in the market area of Jabalia town, in the north, a hospital said.

At least 27 Palestinians were killed and several others wounded in the latest Israeli airstrikes across Gaza on Saturday, sources and officials said. In one of the attacks, an Israeli airstrike targeted a cafe in the city of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip, killing four Palestinians, a medical source told Anadolu.
