At least 40 Palestinians were killed and dozens more wounded in a series of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City on Wednesday, according to Xinhua.

An Israeli drone reportedly targeted a restaurant and market in the al-Rimal area, killing at least 25 people and seriously injuring many more. The casualties were taken to local hospitals, and officials warned that the death toll might climb.

Separately, Gaza's civil defense said that two airstrikes hit a school sheltering displaced inhabitants east of the city, killing 15 people and wounded 10, Xinhua reported.

The Israeli military has not responded to the strikes.
