Officials said on Wednesday that Israeli attacks in Gaza killed at least 92 people. This included women, children, and two journalists. Israel is getting ready to do more military actions in Gaza. This difficult war has now been going on for 20 months.
On Wednesday, two Israeli airstrikes hit an area in central Gaza. At least 33 people died, and 86 were hurt. Some children were among the injured people. Health officials said the number of people who died might be more than 33.
The Israeli army did not say anything about the attacks right away.
The leader of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, said on Wednesday that they are not sure if three people held in Gaza are still alive. This was one day after the American President, Donald Trump, said that out of 24 people they thought were alive, only 21 were still living.
The news made the families of the people still in Gaza feel very worried.
More people were hurt or killed on Wednesday. This happened after Israel decided to do more in Gaza. Their plan was to take control of Gaza, keep land they took, make Palestinians move to the south of Gaza, and decide who gets help with food and supplies.
On Wednesday, bombs hit a busy market in Gaza City two times, health officials said.
Videos online showed what happened after. There were dead men, including one sitting in a chair in a Thai restaurant where local people meet. There were also some children lying on the ground, covered in blood.
A journalist named Yahya Sobeih was killed. He worked for local news. Gaza's media office said this. He recently put a photo of his new baby daughter on Instagram.
Some people were hurt in the explosions. Some were hurt very badly. They went to Al-Shifa Hospital nearby, a spokesperson said.
Another local journalist, Nour Abdu, died while reporting on an attack early Wednesday morning. The attack was at a school in Gaza City that people were using as a shelter. The media office said this. The attack killed 16 people.
On Tuesday night, a school where many Palestinian families were staying was attacked. People from the hospital said 27 people died, including nine women and three children. The school has been attacked many times since the fighting started.
Israel says Hamas is responsible for the deaths. They say Hamas uses buildings like schools where people live.
The war started when Hamas fighters attacked the south of Israel. They killed many people, about 1,200. They also took about 250 people with them.
Israel is also asking thousands of extra soldiers to help with the plan. Israel says they will do it slowly, after Trump finishes his visit to the area this month.
If the fighting gets worse, more people could die. If Israel controls more of Gaza for a long time, it could be like an army taking over the area. People are asking how Israel will manage the area. This is happening while Israel is thinking about a plan for Gaza.
Palestinian health officials say that the Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed more than 52,000 people. Many of the people who died were women and children. The officials count fighters and people who are not fighters together.
