Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip killed at least 34 Palestinians overnight and on Tuesday as Israeli tanks pushed into areas in central and southern parts of the enclave, Reuters reported citing medics.
An Israeli airstrike killed at least 25 people in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, where Israeli forces have operated since October, and wounded dozens of others in a multi-floored building, medics said.
According to Reuters, the Palestinian Civil Emergency said most of those killed were from the same family, including women and children.
Images posted online, which Reuters could not immediately verify, showed the bodies lined up in a single mass grave in the town.
An airstrike also targeted a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza killing at least seven people while another strike killed two people in Rafah south of the enclave.
Meanwhile, in Deir Al-Balah near the coast, Israeli naval forces detained six Palestinian fishermen who tried to sail into the Mediterranean Sea earlier today, Reuters reported citing residents.
More than 44,700 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war between Hamas and Israel in October 2023.
