At least 13 people have been killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes that targeted refugee camps in central Gaza overnight into Saturday, according to Palestinian health officials. The attacks come as cease-fire negotiations in Cairo appear to show signs of progress.

The airstrikes hit the Nuseirat and Bureij Refugee Camps, claiming the lives of three children and one woman, according to Palestinian ambulance teams who transported the bodies to Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital. The total of 13 deaths was confirmed by Associated Press journalists at the hospital.

In a tragic turn of events, a medical team managed to deliver a live baby from a woman killed in an airstrike on Thursday evening. The newborn is stable but is suffering from oxygen deprivation and has been placed in an incubator, as reported by Dr. Khalil Dajran.
