An Israeli airstrike on Tuesday killed a father, his wife and their four children in Gaza City, while setting their home ablaze, health officials said.
Medics said the Israeli strike on the family house in the Sabra neighbourhood killed the man, Firas Al-Masri, his wife, Salsabeel, and their three daughters and son.
The Israeli military confirmed the strike, saying its target was a Hamas fighter and it was still looking into the result of the attack.
In separate strikes since Friday, the Israeli military said it had killed three fighters from Hamas and IJ terror group, two of whom had taken part in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel and had held Israeli hostages seized in the assault.
The deaths swell a toll of more than 1,150 Palestinians, mostly civilians, killed by Israeli attacks since an October ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect, according to Gaza health officials.
Hamas does not usually disclose its losses.
The truce halted major fighting but has not stopped near-daily Israeli strikes. Israel says it is targeting rebels. Four Israeli soldiers have been killed by rebels in Gaza over the same period.
The war began when Hamas-led fighters attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking about 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Israel's subsequent offensive has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians, say Gaza health officials.
Nearly all of Gaza's 2 million people now live on a tiny strip of land along the coast, mainly in makeshift tents or damaged buildings, under Hamas control.
