The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said on Wednesday that its strikes on Gaza were its largest since the conflict in 2014.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says that more than 300 people have been injured there since the conflict began, as well as the 53 who have died.

Residents had been warned to evacuate the buildings before the fighter jets attacked, however health officials said there were still civilian deaths.
