At least eight people were killed, most of them minors, after shelling a house in the northern town of Jabalia al-Balad, the official Wafa news agency reported.

Another civilian was killed in a similar incident in the nearby town of Beit Lahia, which has been the target of an IDF ground operation since last week.

A father and son were also killed in an air raid on a house in Al-Bureij refugee camp in the center of the coastal enclave, which also resulted in several injuries.

Wafa also reported two fatalities, including a woman, following an Israeli drone strike in the southern town of Khan Yunis.

According to the news outlet, since the resumption of the Israeli offensive against the territory on March 18, more than 750 people have been killed there and almost 1,400 injured.

The total number of deaths in Gaza since the beginning of the new cycle of violence, in October 2023, exceeds 50,000 Palestinians, and more than 113,000 injured.
