Israeli strikes kill 82 people in Gaza as Trump wraps up Middle East visit

At least 82 people were killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza on Friday, as Trump wrapped up his regional trip.

Strikes overnight and into Friday hit across Gaza, including the outskirts of Deir al-Balah and the city of Khan Younis.

At least 66 people were killed according to the Indonesian hospital, where most of the bodies were taken. Another 16 bodies were taken to Nasser hospital, said health officials. 

The widespread attacks across northern Gaza come as Trump finishes his visit to Gulf states but not Israel.

There had been widespread hope that Trump's regional visit could usher in a ceasefire deal or renewal of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

 

An Israeli blockade of the territory is now in its third month.
