The Israeli army killed at least 57 more Palestinians in new strikes Thursday across the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, according to medics and media reports.

Four victims were killed when Israeli fighter jets shelled a group of civilians in the Zeitoun neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, a medical source said.

The source added that seven other Palestinians were killed and several others injured, including women and children, in another airstrike on a residential building in the same city.

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

Twenty Palestinians perished and many were injured as fighter jets struck a home housing the displaced in the same town, marking the deadliest attack in one day.​​​​​​​

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

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

Three victims 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.
