STORYLINE:
Thirteen people were killed east of Gaza City on Wednesday in two Israeli airstrikes.
Six children and five women were among the dead, according to Al-Ahli Hospital.
The Israeli military responded to the report saying that "in stark contrast to Hamas' intentional attacks on Israeli men, women and children, the IDF follows international law and takes feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm."
At least 38 Palestinians were killed overnight and into Wednesday in the Gaza Strip while seeking aid from United Nations convoys and sites run by an Israeli-backed American contractor, according to local health officials.
The Israeli military said it had fired warning shots when crowds approached its forces.
The latest deaths came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was expected to announced further military action — and possibly plans for Israel to fully reoccupy Gaza.
Experts say Israel's ongoing military offensive and blockade are already pushing the territory of some 2 million Palestinians into famine.
Another escalation of the nearly 22-month war could put the lives of countless Palestinians and around 20 living Israeli hostages at risk, and would draw fierce opposition both internationally and within Israel.
Netanyahu's far-right coalition allies have long called for the war to be expanded, and for Israel to eventually take over Gaza, relocate much of its population and rebuild Jewish settlements there.
Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in the Oct. 7 attack and abducted another 251.
Most of the hostages have been released in ceasefires or other deals.
Fifty are still held in Gaza and about 30 are dead.
Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed over 61,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which does not say how many were fighters or civilians but says around half were women and children.
It is part of the now largely defunct Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals.
The UN and independent experts consider it the most reliable source for the number of war casualties.
