The Israeli army killed at least 35 Palestinians in the latest airstrikes on the Gaza Strip early Friday, sources told Anadolu. Medical sources and eyewitnesses said Israeli forces bombed gatherings of Palestinian civilians in the north and central areas of the enclave.

Israel is in discussions with South Sudan about the possibility of resettling Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to the war-torn East African country, part of a wider effort by Israel to facilitate mass emigration from the territory left in ruins by its 22-month offensive against Hamas.

Palestinians and human rights groups have largely rejected Israel’s proposal to remove the people of Gaza from their homeland
