Eight people were killed in the West Bank on Sunday, according to the Palestinian health ministry, while more than 50 people were killed in strikes on Gaza overnight.
Israel followed through on its vow to intensify attacks, striking targets across Gaza as well as a mosque in the occupied West Bank and two airports in Syria over the weekend. The war with Hamas is threatening to spiral into a broader conflict, with the US warning Iran that 'if this war grows, it is coming to your backyard'. Meanwhile Egyptian border guards were injured after an Israeli tank 'misfired' in the Kerem Shalom area.
The health ministry later said Israeli forces killed a total of eight people in the West Bank on Sunday. The fatalities mean 93 Palestinians have died there since the conflict began two weeks ago, according to the Palestinian health ministry. It came as more than 50 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza overnight, medical sources in the territory said.
