ANKARA /ISTANBUL (AA) – At least 36 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Monday, medical sources said.

A medical source said four people lost their lives when Israeli warplanes struck a house in the southern city of Khan Younis.

Six more people were killed and several others injured in another airstrike targeting a tent for displaced people in the same city, the source added.

Israeli warplanes struck the Al-Attar area west of Khan Younis, killing four people, including a child.

A Palestinian child was also killed when Israeli fighter jets hit a repair workshop in Ma’an in southern Khan Younis.

Witnesses said the Israeli army also struck at least five vehicles in areas across Khan Younis, injuring five Palestinians.

Another strike targeted a residential apartment in the Batn al-Samin area in the same city, killing a journalist for the local Palestine Today channel, his wife, and their child.

Another medical source said two women were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Four more people were killed, including a young girl, and 13 others injured in Israeli shelling of a tent sheltering displaced civilians in Nuseirat, Al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza said in a statement.

Israeli shelling also targeted a gathering of civilians near the entrance of Al-Mughraqa town in central Gaza, resulting in the death of four Palestinians, according to another medical source.

In Gaza City, four Palestinians were killed in two Israeli airstrikes on the eastern Shejaiya neighborhood, the medical source said.

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.

Israel has killed nearly 50,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 113,400 in its latest war on Gaza, which began in 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.
