Earlier on Sunday, an Israeli air strike killed at least 10 people in al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, when a missile hit a house, medics said.
Medical sources told Al Jazeera Arabic that at least 100 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip since dawn, with 94 of the fatalities occurring in the northern region.

Israel and the United States are reportedly considering a joint plan to deploy a private American-Israeli security firm to administer Gaza by subjecting Palestinians to biometric screenings with the threat of withholding humanitarian aid.
According to media reports, based on an initial report by Israeli journalist, Shlomi Eldar, on Monday this week, the US and Israel are planning to run a pilot programme – starting with the Al-Atatra village in north-western Gaza – involving 1,000 private mercenaries who would create “gated communities” within the Strip where they will control the inhabitants and their movements through the use of biometrics.

The experimental model is slated to be implemented soon in the northern Gaza neighborhoods of Al-Atatra, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia, according to the Financial Times, citing six sources familiar with the plan.
Egypt reiterated its call for the Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security, warning of the serious consequences if the international community fails to intervene promptly to stop the Israeli aggression.
At least 84 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes in northern Gaza overnight and into Sunday, taking the death toll in Israel yearlong genocidal war to 42,603, the territory‘s Health Ministry said.
CNN cannot confirm the figures but they match numbers provided by Kamal Adwan hospital, where victims have been taken.
Graphic footage showed the bodies of several children among the dead, many with extensive injuries. Other video showed numerous body bags at the hospital amid grieving relatives. Overnight footage showed rescue workers combing through tonnes of rubble in the search for survivors and victims. Daylight images appear to show that two or three substantial apartment buildings were flattened by the strike.
For the 12th consecutive day, the Israeli military has launched a renewed wave of genocidal violence against Palestinians in northern Gaza, specifically in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun, besieging Palestinians therein and subjecting them to intense aerial and artillery bombardment.
Israel is directly implementing theso-called “Generals’ Plan”, reportedly examined by the Israeli Prime Minister, that is aimed at emptying northern Gaza of its residents by laying a full siege, denying the entry of humanitarian aid, forcing Palestinians to leave, and unlawfully declaring whoever remains to be a military target.
Warplanes carried out strikes on residential areas in northern Gaza, late on Saturday, killing and wounding over 100 people.
Medics in Gaza reported that Israeli air strikes targeted a multi-floor building and damaged a number of nearby houses.
Local sources reported that Israeli warplanes carried out intense bombing raids on Beit Lahiya, completely destroying a residential complex while civilians were inside, resulting in at least 73 fatalities and numerous injuries.
Many individuals are still trapped under the rubble, with rescue teams unable to reach them.
Additionally, Israeli quadcopter drones fired on tents housing displaced families in the courtyard of Al-Awda Hospital and directly targeted an ambulance.
People were forced to evacuate to that area due to the scale and the intensity of the massive Israeli bombardment that was taking place in the more central and eastern parts, particularly in Jabalia.
So, many people were forced into that area, and as soon as they gathered, they got bombed and killed in the places they were seeking shelter.
The confirmed reports we got say multiple air strikes took place targeting an entire residential block in western Beit Lahiya cit – very packed with people, the local residents as well as those who evacuated earlier.
The attack was so massive that it shook the entire western part of Beit Lahiya.
