Core point

At least 12 Palestinians, including six members of one family, have been killed in three separate Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, according to local medics. The Israeli military stated that its target was a Hamas operative and that it was still investigating the results of the attack. According to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry, at least 1,168 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since a ceasefire took effect last October. The UN's human rights office condemned the recent intensification of Israeli military attacks in Gaza.
