The Palestinian death toll in the war-torn Gaza Strip had risen to 56,259, with 132,458 others injured since the outbreak of the latest round of conflict between Hamas and Israel on Oct 7, 2023, said Gaza's health authorities on Thursday.
Over the past 24 hours, Israeli attacks claimed 103 Palestinian lives and injured 219 others, as reported by the health authorities.
On Thursday, Israel bombed a street near a flour distribution center in central Gaza city of Deir al-Balah, resulting in at least 18 deaths and many injuries, according to Palestinian media outlets.
The Palestinian Interior Ministry in Gaza condemned the Israeli airstrike, which targeted on-duty police and security personnel, as well as numerous civilians.
The Israeli side has yet to respond to the attack.

Protesters filled Mexico City's Paseo de la Reforma on Saturday, rallying in solidarity with Venezuela and denouncing U.S. influence in Latin America.
The United States launched a large-scale military operation against Venezuela in the early hours of Jan 3, taking by force Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
Holding numerous flags and banners while chanting slogans intermittently, a huge crowd of protesters criticized U.S. military actions against Venezuela and the unlawful control over President Maduro and his spouse, calling for respect for national sovereignty and regional peace.
"We oppose the U.S. intervention and hegemony towards the countries in Latin America. The United States has flagrantly trampled on international law, bombed Caracas and kidnapped the Maduro couple. The U.S. interventionism has become extremely blatant. We must firmly oppose and be highly vigilant, because this is not only related to a certain country, but also to all countries," said a protester.
"We demand that the United States stop interfering in Venezuela's internal affairs. The country must immediately cease its exploitation and plundering of the countries in Latin America," said another protester.
