Rescue workers said nine children from one family were among those killed on the outskirts of the southern city of Khan Younis.

The Israeli military said its troops had killed numerous Hamas fighters and dismantled infrastructure during an operation in the Khan Younis area, and questioned the number of casualties reported.

It came as Israeli forces reportedly raided one of the last functioning hospitals in the north of the territory.

The WHO said it had lost contact with medics at Kamal Adwan hospital in the northern town of Beit Lahia, close to the besieged Jabalia area, while the health ministry said Israeli troops had detained staff, patients and displaced people there.
