The Civil Defense in Gaza reported that at least 19 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting various areas of the Gaza Strip since dawn on Monday.
Civil Defense officials said eight people were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting the Abu Mahadi family home in Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip. Another attack killed several other members of the Agha family in the Satar al-Gharbi area of Khan Yunis.
In western Gaza City, one person was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Abu Mazen roundabout area, while two others were killed in an attack on a tent housing displaced persons in the Shafi'i camp, west of Khan Yunis.
"They were sleeping in their homes, feeling safe," said Abdul Majeed Abu Mahadi, who lost his brother and family in the bombing. "The missiles fell on them while they were in their homes, and children and women were killed." He added that his 65-year-old brother was killed along with his sons.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the death toll has risen to 2,222 Palestinians since the resumption of bombing, bringing the total death toll since the outbreak of the war to at least 52,314.
