The Israeli military said it struck senior Hamas militants.
By Mohammad Johjouh and Wafaa Shurafa, Associated PressPalestinians carry the body of victim of an overnight Israeli strike, outside a hospital in Deir al-Balah, Gaza Strip, Wednesday, Dec. 4, 2024.
The strikes were the latest deadly assault in the war-wracked Gaza Strip, where Israel’s offensive against Hamas is nearly 14 months old and showing no end in sight, despite international efforts to revive negotiations toward a ceasefire. An Associated Press journalist at the hospital counted at least 15 bodies, but he said reaching a precise number was difficult because many of the dead were dismembered, some without heads or badly burned.
On Wednesday, Israel said its forces recovered the body of one hostage who was captured alive during Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack that sparked the war, yet who Israel believes was killed by his captors. Israel believes about a third of the remaining 100 hostages are dead.
