At least 14 people have died after Israeli air strikes targeted central and southern Gaza overnight into Saturday, civil defence officials have said.
The news emerged as friends and family members of a Turkish-American activist killed by an Israeli solider honoured her in a funeral.
The air strikes in Gaza City hit one home housing 11 people, including women and children, and another strike hit a tent in Khan Younis housing Palestinians displaced by the Israel-Hamas war, Gaza’s civil defence said on Saturday.
They followed air strikes earlier this week that hit a tent camp on Tuesday and United Nations school housing displaced people on Wednesday.
In Turkey, activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, the 26-year-old from Seattle who held US and Turkish citizenships, was laid to rest in her hometown in the town of Didim on the Aegean Sea.
The Israeli military has said that Ms Eygi was likely shot “indirectly and unintentionally” by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank on September 6.
Turkey announced it will conduct its own investigation into her death. An Israeli protester who witnessed the shooting said she was killed after a demonstration against Israeli settlements.
“We are not going to leave our daughter’s blood on the ground and we demand responsibility and accountability for this murder,” Numan Kurtulus, the speaker of Turkey’s parliament, told mourners.
Ms Eygi’s body had been earlier brought from a hospital to her family home and Didim’s Central Mosque. Thousands of people bid her farewell in the town’s streets, which were lined with Turkish flags.
Anadolu Agency reported her body arrived in Didim after a post-mortem examination at the Izmir Forensic Medicine Institute.
As Ms Eygi’s family watched the coffin being unloaded, her mother had to be helped by medics, the agency said.
Her death earned condemnation from US secretary of state Antony Blinken as the United States, Egypt and Qatar push for a ceasefire and the release of the hostages.
Talks have repeatedly bogged down as Israel and Hamas accuse each other of making new and unacceptable demands.
The war began when Hamas-led fighters killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in an October 7 attack on southern Israel.
They abducted another 250 people and are still holding around 100 hostage after releasing most of the rest in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned by Israel during a weeklong ceasefire in November.
Around a third of the remaining hostages are believed to be dead.
It has caused vast destruction and displaced about 90% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million, often multiple times, and plunged the territory into a severe humanitarian crisis.
Gaza’s health ministry says more than 41,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war began.
The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and militants in its count, but says women and children make up just over half of the dead.
Israel says it has killed more than 17,000 militants in the war.
