DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli airstrikes hit the central and southern Gaza Strip overnight into Saturday, killing at least 14 people as friends and family members of a Turkish-American activist killed by an Israeli soldier prepared to honor her at her funeral.

The airstrikes in Gaza City hit one home housing 11 people, including three women and four children, while another strike hit a tent in the city of Khan Younis with Palestinians displaced by the Israel-Hamas war, Gaza's Civil Defense said. They followed airstrikes earlier this week that hit a tent camp on Tuesday and a United Nations school sheltering displaced Palestinians on Wednesday.
