The dead include three children and their parents, who were killed in a strike on their tent near the southern city of Khan Younis, according to Nasser Hospital, which has received a flood of dead and wounded since Israel resumed heavy bombardment of Gaza last week, shattering the ceasefire that had halted the 17-month war.
Israeli aircraft had carried out more than 20 strikes across Gaza.
Nasser Hospital said it received four additional bodies from two other strikes in addition to the family of five.
In central Gaza, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said it received the bodies of six people who were killed in three separate strikes. Three others were killed in a strike on a house in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp, according to the Awda Hospital.
In Gaza City, an Israeli strike on a residential building killed 5 people, according to the Health Ministry’s emergency service.
Another 12 people were wounded, it said.
Israel has killed over 730 Pallestinians in Gaza since it resumed its genocidal war on the Strip on March 18.
