The Israeli army launched fresh airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing at least 24 more Palestinians, medics said.

Six people of the same family were killed when an Israeli warplane struck a house in the northern town of Beit Lahia, a medical source told Anadolu.

Four more people lost their lives when fighter jets struck a group of civilians near a shelter center in northwestern Gaza City, he said.

Medics said a former football player was also killed in another strike on a gathering of people in western Gaza City.

Two more people were killed and several others injured in a drone strike targeting Palestinians gathering firewood in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood in southwestern Gaza City, a medical source said.

Another Israeli strike killed one more Palestinian in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Additionally, three Palestinians succumbed to wounds sustained in earlier Israeli airstrikes in the same city.

Six Palestinians, including three children, lost their lives, and 12 others were injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting tents sheltering displaced families in the al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis.

Artillery shelling by Israeli forces struck homes near University College in southern Gaza, killing one person and injuring several others.

Israeli gunboats also opened fire toward the coastal areas of Gaza City, but no information was yet available about injuries.

Artillery shelling was reported in the eastern areas of the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza and the southern city of Rafah, according to witnesses.

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18 and has since killed nearly 1,400 people, injured over 3,600 others, and shattered a January ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in the enclave.

Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to escalate attacks on Gaza as efforts are underway to implement US President Donald Trump's plan to displace Palestinians from the enclave.

Over 50,800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023, most of them women and children.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for 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.
