An Israeli airstrike killed at least two people and wounded 11 others in the central Nuseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, the Awda hospital said.

The strike hit a house late Friday in the camp, according to the hospital which received the casualties in the first hours of Saturday.

At least 41,586 Palestinians have been killed and 96,210 others injured in Israel's military offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, Gaza's health ministry said in an update on Saturday.

Over the past few days, the Israeli military has carried out strikes in northern and central Gaza, which they said were targeting Hamas militants operating from civilian areas.
