Some 26 Palestinians have died as a result of Israeli attacks on Gaza since midnight Friday, as reports of a new ceasefire proposal surfaced on the 18th day of the offensive on the Strip.
Ashraf al-Qidra, spokesman for the Palestinian ministry of health, said that the latest deaths brought the death toll since the beginning of the assault to 825.
Over 5,240 Palestinians have been injured since the beginning of the Israeli offensive, Ma'an news agency quoted al-Qidra as saying.
The deadliest Israeli airstrike of the night targeted the Rafah family home of 45-year-old Salah Ahmad Abu Hasanin, killing him and three of his sons and injuring 14 others.
