On Wednesday, officials said that Israeli attacks in Gaza killed at least 92 people. Among the dead were women, children, and two journalists. Israel is getting ready to attack more in Gaza. This terrible war has been happening for 20 months now.
On Wednesday, Israeli planes dropped bombs on an area in the middle of Gaza. This killed at least 33 people and hurt 86 others, including some children. Health workers said that probably more people died.
The Israeli army did not say anything about the attacks right away.
The leader of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, said on Wednesday that he was not sure if three people held in Gaza were still alive. Before this, the President of the U.S., Donald Trump, had said that only 21 out of 24 people held were still alive.
The news made the families of the people still in Gaza feel very worried and scared.
More fighting happened on Wednesday. This was after Israel said they would do more in the Palestinian area. Their plan might be to take over Gaza, keep the land they have taken, make Palestinians move to the south, and control how help is given with private security groups.
On Wednesday, health officials said two attacks happened at a busy market in Gaza City.
Videos online showed what happened after. There were dead men, like one still sitting in a chair in a Thai restaurant where local people met. There were also children on the ground who were not moving and had blood on them.
Journalist Yahya Sobeih, who worked for local news, died with others, Gaza's media office said. 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 were taken to Al-Shifa Hospital, which is nearby. Zaher al-Wahidi told this to The Associated Press. He is a spokesperson for the Gaza health ministry.
Another journalist, Nour Abdu, died while reporting on an attack early Wednesday morning. The attack happened at a school in Gaza City where people were staying for safety. This attack killed 16 people, the hospital said. Attacks in other places killed at least 16 more people.
On Tuesday night, a school where many Palestinians were staying was attacked. Twenty-seven people died, including nine women and three children. This school has been hit many times since the fighting started.
Israel says Hamas caused the deaths because they use places like schools to hide.
The war started when fighters from Hamas attacked southern Israel. They killed 1,200 people and took about 250 people as prisoners.
Israel is also asking many reserve soldiers to help with the plan. Israel says the plan will happen slowly and only after Trump finishes his visit to the area later this month.
More fighting could mean more deaths. Israel now controls about half of Gaza and might control more for a long time. This could be like a military occupation, and people would ask how Israel will rule the area, especially as they think about taking over Gaza, like Trump wanted.
More than 52,000 people have died in Gaza because of attacks from Israel. Many of the people who died were women and children. This information comes from health workers in Gaza who count everyone who dies, including fighters and people who are not fighting.
