At least 32 Palestinians killed in Israeli air strikes across Gaza
GAZA — Israel is continuing its relentless bombardment of Gaza with daily operations and strikes taking place after a fragile ceasefire was broken three weeks ago.At least 32 Palestinians were killed across the enclave on Sunday, mostly women and children.The war has so far claimed the lives of more than 50,500 Palestinians since the war began, according to Hamas-run health authorities in Gaza.
