Children among 16 ******* in Gaza *******: Palestinians

******** airstrikes have ******* 16 people in the Gaza Strip, including five women and four children, ************ officials say.

A strike flattened a home in the built-up Nuseirat ******** camp in central Gaza, ******** at least 10 people, including four women and two children, officials said.

The Awda Hospital, which received the bodies, confirmed the toll and said another 13 people were wounded in the early morning *******.

Hospital records show the ***** included a mother, her child and her five siblings.

Another strike on a home in Gaza City ******* six people, including a woman and two children, according to the Civil Defence, first responders who operate under the ******-run government.

******* says it only targets militants and accuses ****** and other armed groups of endangering civilians by operating in residential areas.

The military rarely comments on individual strikes, which often ***** women and children.

The Gaza Health Ministry says more than 41,000 Palestinians have been ******* since ******’ October 7 ******* triggered the war nearly a year ago.

It does not distinguish between fighters and civilians in its count but says a little over half of those ******* were women and children.

******* says it has ******* more than 17,000 militants, without providing evidence.

Earlier, *******’s defence minister told his US counterpart time is running out for an agreement with Hezbollah to halt the fighting along the *******-Lebanon border.

Yoav Gallant told Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin that “the possibility for an agreed framework in the northern arena is running out as Hezbollah continues to ‘tie itself’ to ******”.

“The trajectory is clear,” Gallant added, according to a statement released from his office on Monday.

Hezbollah began ******* rockets and drones into northern ******* after the outbreak of the war in Gaza.

Both armed groups are allied with Iran, and Hezbollah says it is acting in solidarity with the Palestinians.

******* has responded to the attacks with airstrikes and the targeted ******** of Hezbollah commanders. It has threatened a wider operation, raising fears of another all-out war.

Hezbollah has said it will halt its attacks if there is a ceasefire in Gaza, but months of talks brokered by the ******* States, Qatar and Egypt have repeatedly stalled.

****** has demanded a lasting ceasefire and the full withdrawal of ******** forces from Gaza as part of any agreement to release the scores of hostages it still holds from the October 7 *******.

Gallant told Austin that “in any possible scenario, *******’s defence establishment will continue to operate with the aim of dismantling ****** and ensuring the return of hostages held by ****** in Gaza – by any means”.
