DEIR EL-BALAH, Palestinian Territories: Scores of people rushed to the Deir el-Balah hospital to identify bodies on Sunday after Israel stepped up its air strikes on Gaza, as the territory's Hamas rulers said 4,651 people had now been killed since the start of the war earlier this month.

Authorities said the city of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza had suffered most from one of the most intense nights of shelling since Israel started its bombardment in response to Hamas' cross-border attacks on October 7.
