Gaza's civil defense agency said Wednesday that Israeli strikes killed at least 11 people, including eight members of one family, in the territory where Israel plans to expand its offensive.
Israel has drawn international condemnation over its plans, which an official said entail the "conquest" of the territory. Israel's far-right finance minister called Tuesday for Gaza to be "entirely destroyed."
Civil defense spokesperson Mahmud Bassal said at least one child was among the 11 people killed in Wednesday's bombardment.
The deadliest strike hit a family home in the southern city of Khan Younis, where eight members of the al-Qidra family were killed and 12 others wounded, Bassal said.
The ages of the dead ranged from two years old to 54, he added.
An Israeli airstrike on a home in the Jabalia refugee camp, in northern Gaza, killed three people and wounded eight, Bassal said.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strikes.
Israel resumed its military offensive in Gaza on March 18 after a two-month truce.
The Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said Tuesday that at least 2,507 people have been killed since Israel resumed its campaign, bringing the war's overall toll to 52,615.
Hamas's attack resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures.
Hamas also abducted 251 people, 58 of whom are still being held in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli military says are dead.
On Tuesday, Hamas said it was pointless to continue ceasefire talks with Israel, accusing it of waging a "hunger war" on Gaza.
The United Nations has warned repeatedly of the potential for a humanitarian catastrophe, with famine again looming after more than two months of Israel's aid blockade.
