Israeli strikes have killed at least 14 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including a mother and her two children who were inside a tent, local health officials said.

Israel ended a ceasefire and renewed its offensive in March, vowing to destroy Hamas and return the 58 hostages it still holds from the October 7, 2023, attack that triggered the war. Israel also blocked the import of all food, medicine and fuel for two-and-a-half months, before letting a trickle of aid enter last week.
