Dozens of Gazans were killed and injured as a result of Israeli airstrikes and shelling targeting various areas across the Strip on Monday, particularly in Khan Yunis in the south and Gaza City in the north.

Seventy-one martyrs and 153 wounded arrived at Gaza hospitals as a result of Israeli bombardment of the Strip over the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll from the ongoing war of extermination since October 7, 2023, to 52,314 dead and 117,792 wounded, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza on Monday.

The Israeli army continues to commit massacres and war crimes against civilians and displaced persons in the Gaza Strip for the 42nd consecutive day, since violating the ceasefire on March 18.

On Monday, the Israeli military intensified its airstrikes and heavy shelling of Gaza's remaining residential neighborhoods, destroying residential buildings in Rafah and killing and wounding dozens of civilians. The blockade has led to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis.
