**ISTANBUL**
Six Palestinians, including a child, were killed early Tuesday in attacks by the Israeli army on the Gaza Strip.
Israeli warplanes bombed a tent housing displaced Palestinians in the Hamad City residential area of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
The attack came after the Israeli army issued evacuation orders for Palestinians in areas of northern Gaza in a move widely seen as a form of collective punishment against Palestinian civilians.
The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing at least 730 people and injuring nearly 1,200 others despite a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.
More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 113,400 injured in a brutal Israeli military onslaught on Gaza since October 2023.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
