Saturday 19 July 2014 14.54 Israeli air strikes and shelling have killed more than 25 people across Gaza, among them children, raising the toll in 12 days of violence to 337.
Some 2,385 Palestinians have been wounded, officials said.
The new deaths included a fifth member of the Zuweidi family killed in northern Gaza's Beit Hanun, and three men killed in nearby Beit Lahiya, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said.
Another man was killed in a separate air strike in Beit Lahiya, along with one person killed in the Qarara area of southern Khan Yunis.
And three men were killed in an air strike in central Gaza, he said.
Four other members of the Zuweidi family had been reported killed earlier -- Mahmud, 23, Dalia, 37, and two girls aged six and two.
Earlier, a man was killed north of Gaza City and a six-year-old child killed in the northern Gaza area of Beit Lahiya.
Their deaths were reported after five bodies were pulled from a home hit by an Israeli air strike in southern Gaza's Khan Yunis.
Also in Khan Yunis, the body of another man was retrieved from the rubble of a building, and a man died of wounds sustained on Friday, Qudra said.
The discoveries came after the deaths of seven people outside a mosque in Khan Yunis, three of them from the same family.
Three more people were killed in three separate strikes in Beit Hanun in the north, Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, and another in Khan Yunis.
In Khan Yunis, a later strike on a home killed Raed al-Laqan, 28.
The deaths took the toll from an Israeli operation to stamp out rocket fire from Gaza to 337, many of them women and children.
Israeli troops killed a Palestinian who tunnelled into southern Israel from Gaza, an army statement said.
"Several terrorists infiltrated Israel through a tunnel from the central Gaza Strip," it said.
Troops "returned fire, killing a terrorist and forcing the rest back into Gaza."
One Israeli civilian and one Israeli soldier have been killed since the campaign started on July 8, and several injured.
The Israeli soldier was killed by friendly fire, according to initial reports.
Some 2,250 Palestinians have been injured, according to Qudra.
Operation Protective Edge is the bloodiest conflict in the besieged coastal enclave since 2009.
Israel launched a ground offensive late Thursday, starting a new phase in the operation which it said aimed partly to destroy tunnels used by Gaza's main power, Islamist movement Hamas.
This morning,the Israeli Defence Forces said Hams had taken to attacking soldiers with donkey's laden with explosives.
Meanwhile, the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign is marching from O'Connell Street to the Israeli embassy to protest Israel's actions in Gaza.
Israel advises citizens to avoid Turkey
Israel has advised its citizens not to travel to Turkey, citing "the public mood" after heated protests there against Israel's ground offensive into Gaza.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said Israelis should "avoid non-essential visits" to Turkey - once Israel's closest regional ally - or be especially vigilant and steer clear of anti-Israel demonstrations.
The travel advisory could affect commercial air connections between Tel Aviv and Istanbul, expanded in recent years as the two countries sought to rebuild relations.
Israel said it would pare back already a reduced staff at its embassy in Ankara and consulate in Istanbul, scenes of furious street protests at Israel's escalation of its Gaza offensive into a ground invasion.
It accused Turkish police of not doing enough to protect its diplomats and Islamist-rooted Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan of incitement after he accused Israel of terrorising the region.
Relations with Turkey reached a nadir in 2010, when Israeli commandos stormed the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara sailing as part of a flotilla challenging the Jewish state's naval blockade of Gaza. Ten people were killed.
