Gaza City: At least 20 more Palestinians were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City on Wednesday, as Tel Aviv's deadly onslaught on the enclave continued unabated, medics said. Witnesses reported that Israeli warplanes struck a family home in the Shejaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.

According to Anadolu Agency, a medical source confirmed that 20 people were killed and more than 50 others injured in the attack. The source added that the death toll is expected to rise as many of the injured are in serious condition and many people are still under the rubble.

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, resulting in nearly 1,500 deaths and 3,700 injuries. This offensive shattered a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in the enclave that was signed in January.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed last week to escalate attacks on Gaza. This comes as efforts are underway to implement US President Donald Trump's plan to displace Palestinians from the enclave.

More than 50,800 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, with a significant portion being women and children. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in the enclave.
