The Israeli army has said a deadly strike near a Gaza water distribution point on Sunday was "an error", as attacks on the enclave killed more than 76 Palestinians.
At least 10 people, including six children, were killed at the water distribution point in central Gaza, officials said.
Al Awda Hospital, in northern Gaza, said it received 10 bodies, including six children, as well as 16 injured people, after Israeli warplanes struck the site north-west of Nuseirat camp. Seven children were among those injured.
The Israeli army said it had intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant in the area but a malfunction had caused the missile to fall “dozens of metres from the target”.
The military said it “regrets any harm to uninvolved civilians”, adding that the incident was under review.
Separately, at least 15 people were killed in an Israeli army strike on a popular market in Gaza city's Al Daraj neighbourhood, the Wafa news agency reported.
A surgeon at Al Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital, in Gaza city, Dr Ahmed Qandil, was among the dead, medical sources said. Gaza's civil defence said more than 50 people were injured in the attack.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has condemned the strike on the water distribution point and other attacks on hungry Palestinians seeking to get food from the aid distribution centres run by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Dozens others were killed in separate attacks on Gaza, Wafa said.
A drone strike killed at least five people in the Al Mawasi area of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Three were killed in a separate strike on tents housing displaced people near Al Fayrouz area in north-western Gaza city. Two were killed when Israeli warplanes struck a group of people in the Al Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza city.
Gaza's Health Ministry said on Sunday that at least 58,026 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed in the 21-month war that was caused by the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, that killed about 1,200 people and saw 240 taken hostage.
Out of 251 people taken hostage that day, 49 are still held in Gaza, including 27 that the Israeli army says are dead.
The war has displaced almost the entire population of more than 2.3 million people, caused a humanitarian crisis and left much of the enclave in ruins.
Seven UN agencies warned that a fuel shortage had reached “critical levels”, threatening aid operations, hospital care and already chronic food insecurity.
The Israeli army on Saturday warned Gaza residents against entering the sea area along the enclave, saying security restrictions have been imposed.
“We urge fishermen, swimmers, and divers to refrain from entering the sea. Entering the sea along the strip puts you at risk,” spokesman Lt Col Avichay Adraee said in a post on X.
Talks to agree a 60-day ceasefire in the fighting and hostage release were in the balance on Sunday after Israel and Hamas accused each other of trying to block a deal.
Hamas wants the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, but a Palestinian source said Israel had presented plans to maintain troops in more than 40 per cent of the enclave.
The source said Israel wanted to force hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into the south of Gaza “in preparation for forcibly displacing them to Egypt or other countries”.
A senior Israeli official said Israel had demonstrated “a willingness to flexibility in the negotiations, while Hamas remains intransigent, clinging to positions that prevent the mediators from advancing an agreement”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he is prepared to enter talks for a more lasting end to hostilities once a temporary truce is agreed, but only if Hamas disarms.

Electric scooters: some rules to remember
- Riders must be 14-years-old or over
- Wear a protective helmet
- Park the electric scooter in designated parking lots (if any)
- Do not leave electric scooter in locations that obstruct traffic or pedestrians
- Solo riders only, no passengers allowed
- Do not drive outside designated lanes
Red flags
- Promises of high, fixed or 'guaranteed' returns.
- Unregulated structured products or complex investments often used to bypass traditional safeguards.
- Lack of clear information, vague language, no access to audited financials.
- Overseas companies targeting investors in other jurisdictions - this can make legal recovery difficult.
- Hard-selling tactics - creating urgency, offering 'exclusive' deals.

What is Folia?
Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal's new plant-based menu will launch at Four Seasons hotels in Dubai this November. A desire to cater to people looking for clean, healthy meals beyond green salad is what inspired Prince Khaled and American celebrity chef Matthew Kenney to create Folia. The word means "from the leaves" in Latin, and the exclusive menu offers fine plant-based cuisine across Four Seasons properties in Los Angeles, Bahrain and, soon, Dubai.
Kenney specialises in vegan cuisine and is the founder of Plant Food Wine and 20 other restaurants worldwide. "I’ve always appreciated Matthew’s work," says the Saudi royal. "He has a singular culinary talent and his approach to plant-based dining is prescient and unrivalled. I was a fan of his long before we established our professional relationship."
Folia first launched at The Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills in July 2018. It is available at the poolside Cabana Restaurant and for in-room dining across the property, as well as in its private event space. The food is vibrant and colourful, full of fresh dishes such as the hearts of palm ceviche with California fruit, vegetables and edible flowers; green hearb tacos filled with roasted squash and king oyster barbacoa; and a savoury coconut cream pie with macadamia crust.
In March 2019, the Folia menu reached Gulf shores, as it was introduced at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, where it is served at the Bay View Lounge. Next, on Tuesday, November 1 – also known as World Vegan Day – it will come to the UAE, to the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach and the Four Seasons DIFC, both properties Prince Khaled has spent "considerable time at and love".
There are also plans to take Folia to several more locations throughout the Middle East and Europe.
While health-conscious diners will be attracted to the concept, Prince Khaled is careful to stress Folia is "not meant for a specific subset of customers. It is meant for everyone who wants a culinary experience without the negative impact that eating out so often comes with."
