At least nine people were killed in a strike on a police station in the northern Jabaliya area, the ministry said.

The Israeli military claimed it targeted a command and control centre for Hamas and the smaller Islamic Jihad group.

At least seven people were killed, including a mother and her two children, and another two children, in three strikes on the southern city of Khan Younis.

Strikes in central Gaza killed six people, including two women and two children.

An airstrike on a home in Gaza City killed four children and their parents, the Health Ministry said.

Israel ended its ceasefire with Hamas and renewed its air and ground war over a month ago, killing at least 190 Palestinians.

It has sealed off Gaza’s 2 million Palestinians from all food and other imports since the beginning of March.

Hamas has said it will only release the remaining 59 captives, 24 of whom are believed to be alive, in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners, a lasting ceasefire and a full Israeli withdrawal. Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas.

 Israel has killed over 51,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, since the start of the war in October 2023, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
