Gaza, Sep 7 At least 10 Palestinians were killed in Israeli bombings targeting two residential houses in central and southern Gaza Strip, said Palestinian sources.

Israel launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on October 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and about 250 others taken hostage.
The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to 40,878, Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Thursday.
