On Sunday, the Israeli military killed at least 43 Palestinians in Gaza, medical sources told Al Jazeera, as US-backed Israeli strikes continue to pound targets across the Strip.

Photos and videos coming out of Gaza show that many children were among the dead and wounded. According to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, at least nine children were killed by Israeli shelling and airstrikes on the al-Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City.

Heavy Israeli attacks also hit southern Gaza, and at least 19 Palestinians were killed by strikes in the southern city of Khan Younis. Israeli troops have expanded their ground offensive in the area to capture the territory between Khan Younis and Rafah.
