Israeli airstrikes hit a cluster of houses in central Gaza’s Al-Bureij camp, killing at least 15 people, and the nearby Al-Nuseirat camp, killed four, medics said. Nuseirat and Bureij are among the densely populated enclave’s eight historic camps and seen by Israel as strongholds of armed militants.

Israeli aircraft also bombed a house in the heart of Gaza City in the north, killing five Palestinians, while another airstrike in the southern city of Khan Younis killed one person, according to medics.

Later on Thursday, 15 Palestinians were killed in Israeli bombings of two schools east of Gaza City. Israeli military ordered another mass evacuation in southern Gaza. — Reuters
