The Israeli army killed at least 16 Palestinians in new airstrikes Thursday in the Gaza Strip, one day after it killed 100 Palestinians in a 24-hour period, according to medics. Six victims were killed in three attacks targeting a group of civilians in Deir al-Balah and the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, said a medical source.

Forty-eight people were killed, including at least seven children, in Israeli airstrikes on school compounds sheltering thousands of displaced Palestinians in Gaza, hospital officials said.

Israeli strikes across Gaza killed at least 92 people, including women, children and two journalists, officials said Wednesday, as Israel prepares to ramp up its campaign in the strip, with the devastating war now entering its 20th month.
