At least 66 people were killed overnight and into Sunday in a series of Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, according to local hospitals and medical personnel, as Israel intensifies its military campaign in the region. Israeli officials say the escalation is aimed at increasing pressure on Hamas to agree to a temporary ceasefire.

The Israeli military did not immediately issue a response regarding the strikes.

In Khan Younis, the Nasser Hospital reported receiving the bodies of 20 individuals killed in several overnight attacks targeting homes and makeshift shelters housing displaced residents in the Muwasi area.

In northern Gaza, at least 36 people were killed in multiple strikes, according to first responders from the health ministry and the civil defense.

The dead included nine people from a single family who were killed when an airstrike hit their house in the built-up Jabaliya refugee camp, according to the health ministry’s emergency services.

Another strike hit the house of the Berawi family, also in Jabaliya, killing 10 people including seven children and a woman, according to the civil defense, which operates under the Hamas-run government. Among the dead were two parents and their three children and a father and his four children, it said.
