GAZA - The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has exceeded 36,000, Gaza's health authorities said in a press statement on Monday.

During the past 24 hours, the Israeli army killed 66 Palestinians and wounded 383 others, bringing the total death toll to 36,050 and injuries to 81,026 since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out in October 2023, the ministry said.

Forty-six people, including children, women, and the elderly, were killed during Sunday's Israeli bombing of tents for displaced people in Rafah, the enclave's southernmost city where more than one million Palestinian refugees are seeking shelter amid the intense conflict.

The Israeli forces said they bombed the tents to kill two senior Hamas officials and claimed the army is investigating the incident.

Israeli aircraft and drones bombed more than 75 targets in Gaza, including weapons depots and buildings used by armed groups, during the past 24 hours, according to a statement from the Israeli forces.

Israel launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on Oct. 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and around 250 were taken hostage. - XINHUA
