Israeli forces pressed deeper into areas of the central and southern Gaza Strip, while Palestinian health officials said yesterday that Israeli strikes had killed at least 27 people across the enclave.
Months of on-off talks on a ceasefire have circled the same issues, but Israel and Palestinian resistance movement Hamas have stuck firmly to their demands.
In the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, a strike on a house killed 11 people, including children and women.
Medics said another strike killed six people, including a local journalist, in a house in Al-Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip, medics said while five others were killed in separate strikes in the south.
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said yesterday that at least 40,265 people have been killed in the Palestinian territory in more than 10 months of war with Israel.
