35 people were killed in an Israeli strike on a residential area in Al-Shujaya in eastern Gaza City, with dozens more missing, Qatari television channel Al Jazeera reported.
Gaza's health ministry said it expected the death toll to rise as civil defense forces and residents dug through the rubble to find dozens of missing people trapped under collapsed buildings.
On Wednesday, the channel reported that more than 50 people had been injured in Israeli shelling of eastern Gaza City.
On March 18, the Israeli army resumed hostilities in the Gaza Strip, launching massive strikes, breaking a ceasefire established in January of this year. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained this by Hamas's rejection of the proposals made during the talks by the mediators and the special envoy of the US President, Stephen Witkoff, stating that the aim of the operation was to free all hostages held in Gaza.
The radicals accused Israel and the US of the renewal of hostilities.
