Israeli troops unleashed lethal attacks across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, targeting a refugee camp in the north, a hospital in the south, and murdering a teenage girl who had lost her leg in an earlier strike.
Israeli airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza killed 90 Palestinians on Sunday, according to a spokesman for Gaza's health ministry. Another rocket attack on a Shehab family home killed 24 people, according to Hamas Aqsa radio.
According to Reuters, the son of Dawoud Shehab, spokesman for Hamas-aligned Islamic Jihad, was among the deceased.

A physician said that dozens of individuals were murdered or injured at the Shehab family home and neighboring structures.
"We believe the number of dead people under the rubble is huge but there is no way to remove the rubble and recover them because of the intensity of Israeli fire," he added in a telephone interview.
Medics in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, said 12 Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured, while an Israeli air attack on a house in Rafah, south Gaza, killed at least four individuals.
People rushed to the building to help those trapped beneath the rubble. According to Mahmoud Jarbou, who lives close by, the sound of the explosion was "as powerful as an earthquake."
According to the Israeli government, it operates targeting militant targets and takes extreme precautions to avoid striking civilians.
Residents in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, reported hearing Israeli planes and tanks bombing and shelling, as well as the sound of rocket-propelled grenades fired by Hamas.
The Israeli military said an air raid on Khan Younis killed seven militants and discovered rocket manufacturing parts and three subterranean shafts near a school used as a refuge.
According to Gaza Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qidra, an Israeli tank shell damaged the maternity facility inside the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, killing a 13-year-old girl named Dina Abu Mehsen.
According to Gaza health officials, about 19,000 Palestinians have been dead since Oct. 7, when Hamas militants killed 1,200 civilians and abducted 240 prisoners in a surprise operation.
According to Israeli sources, 121 soldiers have been killed since the ground war began on October 27, with tanks and infantry pushing into Gaza's cities and refugee camps.
