By Ahmed Asmar

The Israeli army killed at least 28 more Palestinians in airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, medical and local sources said.

A medical source said eight people lost their lives when an Israeli warplane hit 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, northeastern Gaza City, according to the Civil Defense.

Six more people were killed and several others were injured in Israeli airstrikes on homes in the town of Jabalia in northern Gaza, it added.

Also in Jabalia town, a medical source told Anadolu that a child was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a home, along with 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 were injured in another strike on a tent in Al-Mawasi area, the source added.

Five people were also injured in a strike that hit a tent for displaced people in Bani Suhaila town 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 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.
