An Israeli air strike killed a Palestinian in Gaza<\/a> before a second bombing killed eight more people at the funeral hours later, health officials said on Friday. <\/p>\n

Twenty more people were injured when the second strike hit mourners during the funeral procession in Nuseirat refugee camp. <\/p>\n

The first victim had been killed hours earlier on Friday in the same area of central Gaza. <\/p>\n

Three Palestinians were killed in separate Israeli air strikes elsewhere in Gaza, bringing the day’s death toll to at least 12, medics said.<\/p>\n

Hamas<\/a> condemned the Nuseirat strike as a \u201cbrutal massacre\u201d of mourners \u2060and urged peace negotiators, as well as the UN<\/a>, to act to halt \u200bIsraeli \u2060attacks in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Asked about the \u200cattack in Nuseirat, the Israeli military said it struck a cell belonging to \u200bthe Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group, which holds sway in parts of the enclave along with Hamas.<\/p>\n

The military said it was \u201caware of the claims that several uninvolved individuals were harmed as a result of the strike\u201d.<\/p>\n

Residents in an area east of Deir Al Balah in central Gaza said Israeli forces used drones to broadcast orders to leave their homes. Some families fled for safety.<\/p>\n

The deaths add to a toll of more than 1,100 Palestinians, mostly civilians, killed by Israeli attacks since an October ceasefire between Israel and Hamas militants took effect, according to Gaza health officials. <\/p>\n

The truce halted major fighting \u200bbut has not stopped near-daily Israeli strikes. Israel says it \u200cis targeting militants. Four Israeli soldiers \u2060have been killed in Gaza \u200bover the same period.<\/p>\n

Conflict monitor Acled, a US research group that tracks \u200bpolitical violence, \u200csaid Israeli air strikes against Hamas and other militants rose to more than 40 in June, \u2060the highest monthly total since the ceasefire. <\/p>\n

Other strikes hit people near the line \u2060dividing the two sides, killing and injuring civilians, including women and children, it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Israeli air strike killed a Palestinian in Gaza before a second bombing killed eight more people at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":546492,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[64519,50,85,46,43,2865,789],"class_list":["post-546491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-foreign-desk-team","tag-gaza","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-news","tag-standard","tag-story"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=546491"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/546491\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/546492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=546491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=546491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=546491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
