"Our teams found 15 martyrs and 10 wounded, mostly children and women, after an Israeli strike on three apartments" northwest of Gaza City, said the agency's spokesman, Mahmud Bassal.

Four other people were killed and four wounded in a strike on a house in Beit Lahiya, north of Gaza City, he told AFP.

Moreover, Israeli forces demolished residential buildings in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, as well as several homes in the eastern part of Gaza City.

Israeli occupation forces intensified aerial bombardments and expanded ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since resuming the war on the Palestinian territory on March 18.

Israel blocked the entry of all aid, including food, into the besieged territory of about 2.4 million people on March 2.

Israel has killed at least 52,535 people in Gaza, most of whom where women and children since it started its war on October 2023.
