Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip killed 16 people on Saturday morning, Al Jazeera broadcaster reported, citing unnamed medical sources.
Thirteen of them died in the attack on Gaza City.
On March 18, Israel resumed strikes on the Gaza Strip, citing Palestinian movement Hamas’ refusal to accept the US plan to extend the ceasefire, which expired on March 1. In early March, Israel also cut off the electricity supply to a desalination plant in the Gaza Strip and closed off entry to trucks carrying humanitarian aid.
The number of people killed by Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip since March 18 has surpassed 2,000, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
