At least 19 people, including nine minors, were killed and others injured in the incident in Jabaliya, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. An Israeli army spokesman said that the report was being investigated.
According to Wafa, there were internally displaced persons in the area of the clinic. A fire had broken out in the building. There had also been a total of four fatalities in other Israeli attacks in other parts of the coastal strip. In Chan Junis in the south of the Gaza Strip, the bodies of twelve people were also recovered from the rubble, including women and children.
This morning, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced a significant expansion of the army's operations in the Gaza Strip. Israel had resumed the massive attacks in mid-March after a two-month ceasefire, after no agreement had been reached with the Islamist Hamas on the conditions for an extension of the ceasefire.
