DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least 32 people Sunday, including six children at a water collection point, while the Palestinian death toll passed 58,000 after 21 months of war, local health officials said.

Israel and Hamas appeared no closer to a breakthrough in indirect talks meant to pause the war and free some Israeli hostages after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Washington visit last week. A new sticking point has emerged over the deployment of Israeli troops during a ceasefire.

Israel says it will end the war once Hamas surrenders, disarms and goes into exile, which it refuses to do. Hamas says it is willing to free all the remaining 50 hostages, about 20 said to be alive, in exchange for an end to the war and the full withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Throughout the war in Gaza, violence has surged in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

Funerals were held there Sunday for two Palestinians, including Palestinian-American Sayfollah Musallet of Florida, killed by Israeli settlers. The Palestinian Health Ministry said Musallet was beaten by Israeli settlers.

Diana Halum, a cousin, said the attack occurred on his family’s land. The ministry initially identified him as Seifeddine Musalat, 23.

Musallet’s friend, Mohammed al-Shalabi, was shot in the chest, the ministry said.

Israel’s military said Palestinians hurled rocks at Israelis in the area Friday, lightly wounding two people and setting off a larger confrontation. Palestinians and rights groups have long accused the military of ignoring settler violence.

Their bodies were carried through the streets Sunday as mourners waved Palestinian flags and chanted “God is great.”

Musallet’s family has said it wants the U.S. State Department to investigate his death and hold the settlers accountable. The agency said it had no comment, out of respect for the family.

In central Gaza, officials at Al-Awda Hospital said it received 10 bodies after an Israeli strike on a water collection point in nearby Nuseirat.

Ramadan Nassar, a witness who lives in the area, said that 20 children and 14 adults had been lined up to get water. He said Palestinians walk 1.2 miles to fetch water from the area.

The Israeli military said it was targeting a militant, but a technical error made its munitions fall “dozens of meters from the target.”

In Nuseirat, a small boy leaned over a body bag to say goodbye to a friend.

“There is no safe place,” resident Raafat Fanouna said as some people went over the rubble with sticks and bare hands.

Separately, health officials said an Israeli strike hit a group of citizens walking in the street Sunday afternoon in central Gaza City, killing 11 people and injuring around 30.

Dr. Ahmed Qandil, who specializes in general surgery, was among those killed, Gaza’s Health Ministry said. A spokesperson, Zaher al-Wahidi, said Qandil had been on his way to Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital.

In the central town of Zawaida, an Israeli strike on a house killed nine, including two women and three children, officials at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said.

Israel’s military said it was unaware of the strike on the home but said it hit more than 150 targets over the past 24 hours, including what it called weapons storage facilities, missile launchers and sniping posts. Israel blames Hamas for civilian casualties because the militant group operates out of populated areas.

Gaza’s Health Ministry says women and children make up more than half of the over 58,000 dead in the war. The ministry, under Gaza’s Hamas-run government, doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count. The U.N. and other international organizations see its figures as the most reliable statistics on war casualties.

The Hamas-led attack Oct. 7, 2023, that sparked the war killed 1,200 people and abducted 251.
