Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least 44 people across Gaza, health officials said. International pressure has grown for a ceasefire, but Israel’s leader remains defiant about continuing the war.
Strikes in central and northern Gaza killed people in their homes in the early hours of Saturday morning. This included nine from the same family in a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp, according to health staff at the Al-Awda hospital where the bodies were brought.
The attacks came hours after a defiant Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told fellow world leaders at the UN General Assembly Friday that his nation “must finish the job” against Hamas in Gaza. International pressure on Israel to end the war is increasing, as is Israel’s isolation, with a growing list of countries deciding recently to recognise Palestinian statehood — something Israel rejects.
