STORYLINE:
An Israeli strike on an apartment in central Gaza killed six people overnight into Wednesday, officials said.
Their bodies were taken to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, which confirmed the number of the victims.
At the hospital’s morgue, relatives mourned their loved ones, whose bodies were wrapped in shrouds or covered in blankets.
Israel renewed its offensive in Gaza in March after ending a ceasefire with Hamas.
It has vowed to seize control of Gaza and keep fighting until Hamas is destroyed or disarmed, and until it returns the remaining 58 hostages, a third of them believed to be alive, from the October 7, 2023, attack that ignited the war.
In the October 7 attack, Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 251 people in the 2023 attack.
Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed around 54,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
It says more than half the dead are women and children but does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count.
