Rescue teams and doctors in the enclave said that at least 12 people belonging to the same family were among those killed on Thursday when their home in northern Gaza, Jabalia, was attacked.
Six members of another family, a couple and their four children, were killed when an air strike level their home in the city of Gaza, said the civil defense in a statement.

“There are only hands, legs and heads. Everyone is cut and torn,” Arar told Al Jazeera.
Another 10 people were killed and several other wounds in a strike in an old police station in the Northern Jabalia area of Gaza, according to a statement from the Indonesian hospital, where the victims were tasks.

Israel’s army said he hit what he described as a “Hamas Command and Control Center in the Jabalia area, without clarifying whether he was aimed at the police station.

At least 26 people were killed in other Israeli attacks throughout the territory, according to the stockings and the Civil Defense Agency.
Tareq Abu Azzoum of Al Jazeera, who reports from Deir El-Balah, said that “there is an increase in the increase in the rate of Israeli attacks throughout the Gaza Strip.”

The most large ‘offensive?
Israel resumed its military assault on the Gaza Strip on March 18, ending a two -month cessation that had temporarily stopped in the blocked territory.
The army continues to select vital border crossings during the eighth consecutive week, denying the entry of very necessary humanitarian aid, including medical supplies and fuel, wearing a deep humanitarian crisis in the middle of a relentless bombardment.
The Chief of the Army of Israel, visiting troops in Gaza on Thursday, threatened a “bigger” offensive if the captives seized in the attack led by Hamas against Israel on October 7, 2023, are not released.
“If we do not see the progress in the return of hostages in the near future, we will expand our activities to a larger and more significant operation,” Eyal Zamir said.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army ordered the Palestinians who live in the areas of the northern Beit Hanoon and the sheikh side of evacuating before an attack.
The United Nations have warned that the expanding evacuation orders of Israel in Gaza are resulting in the “forced transfer” of people in increasing areas.
Help agencies estimate that the rapid majority of the 2.4 million residents of Gaza have been displaced at least once since the war.
Also on Thursday, the Ministry of Health of Gaza said that Durra’s Children’s Hospital in Gaza had become non -opational, one day after an Israeli strike hit the upper part of the building, damaging the intensive care unit and destroying the facilities panel.
The Gaza Health System has been devastated by the 18 -month military campaign in Israel, putting many of the hospitals in the territory out of action, killing socks and reducing crucial supplies.
The efforts of the key mediators Qatar and Egypt, backed by the United States, have not managed to produce a durable fire.
Since Israel resumed its assault, at least 1,978 people have been killed in Gaza, raising the number of deaths in general to less than 51,355 since October 2023, according to the Ministry of Health of Gaza.
The military said Thursday that the Israeli tank fire killed a UN worker in the central city of Gaza, Deir El-Balah, last month, according to the initial findings of the investigations.
Initially he had denied operating in the area where an employee from Bulgaran of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOP) was killed on March 19.
The findings occur after the army reported Sunday in a separate investigation into the murder of 15 Palestinian emergency workers in Gaza.
He finally admitted that the operational failures led to his death, and said that a field commander would be dismissed.
