On Saturday evening, "Israeli strikes hit police posts... in the Al-Mawasi area" killing eight, said Mohammed al-Mughair, an official at the agency.

Another person was killed on Sunday "after being hit by fire from Israeli forces" at a roundabout in Khan Yunis, Mughair told AFP.

According to the official Palestinian news agency Wafa, a young girl was among the dead on Saturday night.

AFP images showed bodies being transported from the morgue of Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis then laid out on the ground, wrapped in white shrouds.

During the funerals, one woman was screaming, surrounded by crying men and children.

"Each day, the enemy hunts down and kills," said Ahmed al-Sufi, a Palestinian who had lost family.

Despite an ongoing ceasefire, Israel has continued to strike Gaza, killing at least 702 Palestinians since the start of the ceasefire on 10 October, according to the Gaza health ministry.
