Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip killed 37 people on Sunday, in a war that is seeing Israel occupying greater swathes of the costal enclave.

An Israeli strikes in Gaza's Khan Younis have killed six people and wounded several others, according to medics in the enclave, with  Palestinian news agency Wafa reporting that five were killed on a strike in a house in the city, with casualties being taken to the European hospital.

The strike comes amid continued Israeli attacks on the enclave, which have killed 37 people across the Gaza Strip on Sunday, according to Al Jazeera, that follow from Israel's restart of its war on Gaza after a ceasefire failed to be extended in March.

According to a senior Hamas official speaking to Lebanon's Al-Mayadeen, Israel has offered a proposal for a 45-day ceasefire in return for the release of 10 captives, including US-Israeli citizen Edan Alexander.

The offer also has a commitment to negotiate for a second phase of the ceasefire, which was stunted during the ceasefire of January and February over Israel's refusal to participate in negotiations which would see an end to the war.

Some 50,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war, with Israeli ground operations now occupying significant chunks of the costal enclave, including the major city of Rafah, which Israel placed as a buffer zone.
