Israeli strike kills 8 mourners at Gaza funeral in Nuseirat
Why it matters: Gaza medics put Friday's death toll at at least 12 as strikes continue despite an October ceasefire.
An Israeli airstrike killed at least eight Palestinians and wounded 20 people attending a funeral in Nuseirat in central Gaza on Friday, Gaza health officials said. The mourners had gathered for a person killed in an earlier strike on the same area. Medics said at least three other Palestinians were killed in separate strikes elsewhere in the enclave, bringing the day's toll to at least 12. Residents east of Deir al-Balah also reported evacuation orders broadcast by drones, forcing some families to flee. The Israeli military said it was checking a request for comment. Gaza health officials say more than 1,100 Palestinians have been killed since an October ceasefire took effect.
