STORYLINE:
Israeli tank and drone strikes in Gaza on Wednesday killed at least 17 people, according to hospital staff and Associated Press journalists who counted the bodies.

The strikes happened in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza and Khan Younis in the south.

In Khan Younis nine bodies, among them a woman and child, were taken to Nasser Hospital.

Meanwhile, the Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah received eight bodies.

The strikes came after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken ended his latest visit to the region without a deal to end the war.

As last-ditch negotiations between Israel and Hamas continued, the Israeli military said jets hit around 30 targets throughout the Gaza Strip including tunnels, launch sites and an observation post.

The war was triggered by Hamas’ October 7 attack on southern Israel, in which around 1,200 people were killed and about 250 were taken hostage.

Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed over 40,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count. The war has caused widespread destruction and forced the vast majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents to flee their homes, often multiple times
