GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) -- Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 84 more Palestinians, bringing the death toll from the Zionist regime’s genocidal war since October 2023 to 51,439, the Health Ministry said on Friday.
A ministry statement said that 168 more injured people had been transferred to hospitals in the last 24 hours, taking the number of injuries to 117,416 in the Israeli onslaught.
“Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing 2,062 people and injuring 5,375 others despite a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former war minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave. 
Israel’s army chief, visiting troops in Gaza on Thursday, threatened to expand the onslaught in Gaza.
The warning came as the Zionist army issued fresh evacuation orders for northern areas of Gaza ahead of a planned attack.
Earlier in the day, six members of one family – a couple and their four children – were killed when an air strike leveled their home in northern Gaza City, the civil defense agency said in a statement.
Nidal al-Sarafiti, a relative, said the strike happened as the family was sleeping. “What can I say? The destruction has spared no one,” he told AFP.

“Everyone started running and screaming, not knowing what to do from the horror and severity of the bombing,” said Abdel Qader Sabah, 23, from Jabalia.
In another deadly attack, the bodies of 12 people were recovered after the Hajj Ali family home, also in Jabalia, was struck, the civil defense said.
Another 28 people were killed in strikes across the territory, medics and the civil defense agency reported.
They came as the Israeli military ordered Palestinians living in the northern areas of Beit Hanoun and Sheikh Zayed to evacuate ahead of an attack.
The United Nations has warned that Israel’s expanding evacuation orders across Gaza are resulting in the “forcible transfer” of people into ever-shrinking areas.
Aid agencies estimate that the vast majority of Gaza’s 2.4 million residents have been displaced at least once since the war began.
