At least eight civilians were killed and dozens more injured on Monday as Israeli occupation forces launched multiple airstrikes across the Gaza Strip.

According to local Palestinian media, a man and his wife were killed when Israeli warplanes targeted a tent in the al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. Several others were injured in the same attack.

In a separate strike, five more civilians were killed when Israeli aircraft bombed a residential home in the al-Zanna neighborhood of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis. 

Another civilian was martyred after succumbing to injuries sustained in a prior Israeli strike on a vegetable stall in Deir al-Balah, located in the central Gaza Strip.

Shelling, demolitions target Gaza City neighborhoods

Israeli occupation forces also demolished several homes in the eastern part of al-Tuffah neighborhood in Gaza City, while shelling continued heavily in the southeastern al-Zaytoun area.

Additionally, occupation drones and quadcopters opened fire in the al-Tuffah and al-Shujaiya neighborhoods, further escalating the destruction.

In northern Gaza, Israeli forces reportedly fired live ammunition in the northwestern part of Beit Lahia.

"Israel's" brutal onslaught in Gaza has left over 51,201 Palestinians dead and at least 116,869 others injured. The majority of the victims are women and children. The total death toll is expected to rise exponentially, as many are trapped beneath the rubble of buildings destroyed by the occupation forces. 

Operation 'Breaking the Sword'

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza continues defending its and people. Hamas' military wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said Sunday that its Resistance fighters executed a complex ambush, dubbed “Breaking the Sword”, against Israeli occupation forces east of Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza on Sunday.

In detail, al-Qassam stated that its fighters targeted an Israeli military Storm vehicle, used by the Combat Intelligence Battalion of the Gaza Division, with an anti-tank shell, inflicting confirmed casualties.

When Israeli reinforcements arrived for rescue, they were ambushed with an anti-personnel explosive, leaving troops dead and wounded.

Al-Qassam also confirmed targeting a newly established Israeli military position in the ambush area with four RPG shells, followed by mortar fire, and the group’s military media released footage showing the attack on invading occupation vehicles near the al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City.
