Gaza's civil defence agency reported that Israeli air strikes since dawn on Sunday have killed at least 25 people across the Gaza Strip, including women and children.
Israel resumed its aerial and ground assault on Gaza on March 18, reigniting fighting after a two-month ceasefire that had paused more than 15 months of war in the coastal territory.
'Since dawn today, the occupation's air strikes have killed 20 people and injured dozens more, including children and women across the Gaza Strip,' Mahmud Bassal, spokesman for the civil defence agency said.
In a separate statement later, the agency reported that five people were killed in an Israeli drone strike on a group of civilians in eastern Rafah.
Since Israel resumed its offensive last month, at least 1,827 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the territory's health ministry. The overall death toll in the Gaza war has reached 51,201, the majority of them civilians, according to the ministry, figures the UN considers reliable. SEE ALSO P6
