Local reports indicate at least 21 Palestinians were also killed in a Central Gaza mosque with dozens more injured.

Gaza health officials put the current death toll since Israel's war began a year ago at 41,870, while a further 97,166 people have been wounded. Source: National News Agency - Lebanon
