Several Palestinians were killed and injured in overnight raids across the Gaza Strip as the Israel onslaught entered its day 306, Wafa news agency reported.

A Palestinian, his wife and son were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a residential home in eastern Gaza City.

Israeli military vehicles, meanwhile, opened fire on homes in eastern Al-Bureij refugee camp, central Gaza Strip, injuring a number of Palestinians.

Gun boats also opened fire on the western areas of the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Warplanes struck areas in the cities of Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis, while the army shelled western areas of Rafah, southern Gaza Strip.

Israel has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas incursion. The relentless military campaign has levelled much of the territory and left most of the people homeless, and hungry.

Tensions grew after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran's capital Tehran on July 31, but indirect negotiations for a cease-fire and hostage-prisoner exchange deal seem to have continued.
