Death toll increases in both West Bank and Gaza

A Palestinian man was killed late on Friday in the city of Tulkarm in the West Bank, raising the day's death toll in the occupied territories to 11, according to the health ministry.

In Gaza, the number of Palestinians killed now sits at 126, including 31 children and 20 women, as Israeli air strikes continue to bombard the besieged strip, targeting civilian infrastructure. Among those killed include a 7-year-old girl, Buthaina Mahmoud Ubaid, who was hit in the head by shrapnel from an Israeli missile.

At least 950 people have also been injured in the attacks.
