Israeli occupation forces continued their massacres against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip on Monday, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that 10 people were martyred and a large number of injured individuals were transported to al-Shifa Hospital after Israeli forces opened fire on a crowd of civilians waiting for food aid in the al-Waha area, northwest of Gaza City.

In a separate attack, our correspondent confirmed that three Palestinians were killed and others wounded when Israeli aircraft targeted a group of civilians near the al-Hashimiya School in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, northeast of the city.

Israeli warplanes also launched intense airstrikes on Jabalia town in the northern part of the Strip, while artillery shelling struck a residential tower in Hamad City, northwest of Khan Younis.

Khan Younis also witnessed a massive explosion after occupation forces demolished residential buildings in the eastern part of the city.

Meanwhile, in the al-Mawasi area southwest of Khan Younis, Israeli warplanes targeted tents sheltering displaced civilians, killing three people and injuring several others.
