Several large explosions lit up the night sky over the Gaza Strip early Thursday as Israel continued its military operation.

It's not yet known if there are any casualties from the blasts.

The explosions come amid mounting outrage over this week's double Israeli strike on a southern Gaza hospital that killed journalists, emergency responders and others.

The toll from the attack on Nasser Hospital rose to 22 after two more people died Wednesday, Gaza health officials said.

Israel's military did not immediately respond to questions about the strikes.

Its offensive has killed nearly 63,000 Palestinians during the war, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which says around half were women and children. The agency does not distinguish between fighters and civilians in its count.

Hamas-led militants abducted 251 people and killed around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that triggered the war. Most of the hostages have been released in ceasefires or other deals. Of the 50 remaining in Gaza, Israel believes around 20 are alive.
