More than 100 people have been killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza following the announcement of a ceasefire and hostage release deal earlier this week, according to a tally of data from the Gaza Civil Defense.

The death toll includes at least 27 children.

Local emergency crews have described scenes of relentless bombardment since Israel and Hamas reached a deal, which is expected to come into effect in the coming days, pending an Israeli cabinet vote to approve the agreement.

The Civil Defense says overnight, more than 20 people were killed by Israeli attacks on buildings sheltering people in Gaza.

Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal says this included nine people killed after a family home was shelled in Al-Jarn, north of Gaza City.

Basal says in Southern Gaza, four people were killed in an Israeli helicopter attack in the early hours of yesterday.

He adds two bodies were recovered from another home in central Gaza after it was struck by Israeli forces while three bodies remained under the rubble.

Meanwhile, Israel’s full cabinet has been deliberating for hours over the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release deal, in a crucial last hurdle to its implementation.

The smaller security cabinet approved the deal earlier yesterday.
