Health officials in Gaza said an Israeli airstrike hit mourners in the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing eight Palestinians and injuring 20 others while they were attending the funeral of a person who had been killed in an earlier Israeli strike on Friday.

Paramedics said three more Palestinians were killed in separate airstrikes in other parts of the Gaza Strip, bringing the total death toll for the day to at least 12.

According to Gaza health officials, more than 1,100 people have been killed since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect in October last year.
