An Israeli airstrike on Sunday hit a group of civilians walking through central Gaza City, killing 11 people and injuring around 50 others, according to Gaza's Civil Defence. Among the dead was Dr. Ahmed Qandil, a specialist in general and laparoscopic surgery, who was en route to Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital when the strike happened.
All casualties were taken to Al-Ahli Hospital. The strike hit the Samer and Ma'hol intersection, the civil defence said.
In a separate incident, Civil Defence said that one of its officers, Lt. Ahmad Ismail al-Bureim, was killed in Israeli attacks targeting displaced people in the Abasan area of Khan Younis. His death brings the number of Civil Defence personnel killed since the start of the war to 131.
Israeli strikes have killed over 40 Palestinians so far on Sunday.
