STORYLINE:
A dead child lay among the bodies of dozens of Palestinians in a morgue in Beit Lahiya on Thursday as the death toll from Israel’s new bombardment of the Gaza Strip continued to rise.
Overnight attacks killed at least 58 people across Gaza, according to three hospitals.
The strikes hit multiple homes in the middle of the night, killing men, women and children as they slept.
Relatives and loved ones prayed over the dead wrapped in white sheaths before they were taken away for burial.
Also Thursday, the Israeli military restored a blockade on northern Gaza, including Gaza City, that it had maintained for most of the war.
It warned residents against using the main highway to enter or leave the north and said only passage to the south would be allowed on the coastal road.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians returned to what remains of their homes in the north after a ceasefire took hold in January.
Israel resumed heavy strikes across Gaza on Tuesday, shattering the truce that had facilitated the release of more than two dozen hostages.
Israel blamed the renewed fighting on Hamas because the militant group rejected a new proposal that departed from their signed agreement.
The Trump administration, which took credit for helping to broker the ceasefire, has voiced full support for Israel.
More than 400 Palestinians were killed on Tuesday alone, mostly women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
