Israeli airstrikes overnight and into Thursday struck several homes and killed at least 58 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, according to three hospitals.
Israel had resumed heavy airstrikes across Gaza on Tuesday, shattering a ceasefire that had halted the 17-month war. On Wednesday, the military was retaking control of the key corridor that cuts off northern Gaza from the south.
