ANKARA (AA) – The Israeli army killed at least 30 more Palestinians in a series of fresh strikes across the war-ravaged Gaza Strip on Thursday, medics and local media said.

Four people lost their lives when Israeli fighter jets shelled a group of civilians in the Zeitoun neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, a medical source said.

Ten more people were killed and several others were injured in another strike on a marketplace in the northern town of Jabalia, the source told Anadolu.

The local Al-Aqsa radio reported that four more people, including two children, were killed in two separate strikes on a home and a tent for displaced civilians in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Another strike on a home killed a woman and two children in the same city.

Three more people were killed in a similar strike on a tent in the western area of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

In Gaza City, a couple and their four children were killed in an airstrike on their home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood.

Israel resumed its offensive on the Gaza Strip on March 18, abandoning a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January. It has killed nearly 51,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in the enclave since October 2023.

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 that has left the territory on the brink of famine.
