At least 14 Palestinians were killed, and many others injured, by three Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza, a doctor at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital told CNN on Sunday.
The strikes hit the Al-Shuhada Mosque in the city of Deir al-Balah, according to the doctor. Video obtained by CNN from the west of the city showed destruction at the mosque, with civilians trying to rescue people from under the rubble. Video from the hospital showed multiple bodies in plastic bags Sunday and many people, including children, being treated in the emergency room.
The Israel Defense Forces did not immediately respond to a request for comment. CNN is unable to independently verify who was responsible for the destruction.
More strikes: The news from Deir al-Balah comes after airstrikes on the southern city of Rafah killed at least 17 people in the densely populated El-Geneina neighborhood Saturday, according to Dr. Marwan Al-Homss, director of Abu Youssuf Al-Najjar Hospital.
The IDF stated Saturday it had no knowledge of any strike occurring at the specific time and location provided by CNN.
The Hamas-controlled Palestinian Ministry of Health in the strip says at least 27,365 people have been killed and 66,630 others injured in Gaza since the October 7 Hamas attacks and Israel's ensuing offensive in the enclave.
