Israel's military campaign entered its 82nd day on Wednesday, with strikes across the Gaza Strip killing dozens.

Israel continued its indiscriminate bombing and shelling of the Gaza Strip as the war entered its 82nd day on Wednesday, killing dozens of Palestinians.

At least 20 people were killed on Wednesday following a strike near the Al-Amal City hospital, near Khan Younis.

Scores more were injured during the attack, the health ministry in Gaza said.

Missile-firing drones have also been targeting other locations in Khan Younis, which has come under heavy Israeli attack since October 7.

Drones struck the Abasan district in eastern Khan Younis, as well as the Ma’an area, close to the centre.

The Israeli army said it targeted at least 200 sites in the last 24 hours in the war battered enclave, where the death toll has almost reached 21,000.

Israel's atrocities weren't limited to the Gaza Strip. Violent raids in the West Bank city of Tulkarm killed at least six Palestinians, including several teenagers, while a cross-border bombing killed three people in southern Lebanon, including a Hezbollah fighter and two of his relatives.

Meanwhile, an Israeli army chief warned that the war will "continue for many more months", vowing to keep up their offensive until "Hamas is destroyed".
