The Ministry of Health in Gaza released the latest toll of Palestinians killed and injured in Israeli strikes and attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.

So far, 37,347 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, while another 85,372 have been injured as a result of the Israeli aggression, the ministry stated on Monday.

Regarding the casualties that fell in the last 24 hours since the release of the last statement, the ministry said that Israeli occupation forces committed two massacres in the besieged territory, killing 10 Palestinians and injuring another 73.

The ministry explained that emergency services are incapable of reaching Palestinian victims, left stranded on Gaza's streets or stuck under the rubble because of the lack of heavy equipment and resources in the besieged territory, and the targeting of emergency service by Israeli occupation forces in areas the Israeli military command has deemed operation zones.

Details of early hour raids on Gaza

During the early hours of Monday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza confirmed that three Palestinians, including a woman, were killed, while several others were seriously injured after the Israeli occupation forces deliberately bombed a house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza City.

Israeli bombardment also targeted agricultural lands east of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

Gaza's Civil Defense reported earlier that its crews recovered the bodies of two martyrs from the Bir Canada area in the Tal al-Sultan neighborhood, in western Rafah, following the occupation’s bombing of the area. Israeli warplanes also targeted a house in the vicinity of the Emirati field hospital in central Rafah.

Occupation warplanes also launched a violent raid on Gaza City, coinciding with several raids targeting the vicinity of the Gaza Valley, northwest of the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.

The Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people endures, untamed by international bodies and the international community that fail to uphold their responsibility of preventing the genocide and ethnic cleansing of a people.
