Israeli airstrikes on Gaza killed and injured dozens of Palestinians early Thursday, as occupation warplanes launched a wave of intense raids across multiple areas of the besieged Strip, including civilian homes and tents sheltering displaced families.

In the southern Gaza Strip, airstrikes on the al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis martyred several civilians, including 6-year-old Amir Mansour and her mother, after Israeli forces struck a tent near al-Sumoud camp. Fires broke out in multiple tents as a result of the attack.
