Gaza medics reported that Israeli air strikes killed at least 16 Palestinians overnight, as the United States and Arab mediators worked on Wednesday to finalise a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
On Tuesday, sources close to the talks in Cairo said a ceasefire agreement, along with a deal to exchange hostages held in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, could be signed in the coming days.
Medics said an Israeli air strike killed at least 10 people in a house in the northern town of Beit Lahia, where army forces have been operating since October. Six others were killed in separate air strikes in Gaza City, the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza and Rafah near the Egyptian border.
