Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 100 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip overnight, local health authorities say, as mediators hosted a new round of ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, Reuters reports.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has expanded its strikes on the enclave, killing hundreds of people since Thursday, in preparation for a new ground offensive to achieve ‘operational control’ in parts of Gaza.

“We have at least 100 martyrs since overnight. Complete families were wiped off the civil registration record by Israeli bombardment,” Khalil Al-Deqran, Gaza health ministry spokesperson, told Reuters by phone.
