The Israeli army killed at least 31 Palestinians in airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, sources said.
In one of the latest attacks, medical sources said that Nasser Medical Complex received the bodies of three people, including two children, along with several injured individuals, following an Israeli assault on a house in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
One medical source said that eight people were killed when an Israeli warplane struck a home in the Shujaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.
Ten people were also killed in a strike that targeted a school sheltering displaced people in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood in northeastern Gaza City, according to the Civil Defense.
The Israeli army later admitted to targeting the school, claiming it was used by the Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups.
In the town of Jabalia, a medical source told Anadolu that a child was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a home and several others injured.
In southern Gaza, the army killed two Palestinians and injured several others in two separate strikes in eastern Khan Younis and Al-Mawasi in the city's western area, a medical source said.
One more Palestinian was killed and five others injured in another strike on a tent in the Al-Mawasi area, the source added.
Five people were also injured in a strike that hit a tent for displaced people in Bani Suhaila in eastern Khan Younis, witnesses said.
The Israeli army also opened heavy machine gun fire toward residential areas in eastern Gaza City as well as on the eastern areas of the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.
Israel resumed its deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip on March 18, abandoning a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.
It has killed over 51,300 Palestinians in the enclave since October 2023, most of them women and children.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
