Israeli attacks pounded targets across Gaza on Monday, killing at least 12 Palestinians since dawn, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
One strike on Monday targeted a bicycle in Gaza City, killing one person and critically injuring a child, according to the Quds News Network. Another Israeli airstrike in central Gaza killed at least 10 people outside a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in the al-Maghazi refugee camp
According to eyewitnesses and medics speaking to Reuters, al-Maghazi came under attack by an Israeli-backed Palestinian militia based in the IDF-occupied side of Gaza when an Israeli strike was launched. “The residents tried to defend their homes, but the occupation forces targeted them directly,” one witness said.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said in its daily update on Monday, which it releases about midday Gaza time, that Israeli attacks killed at least seven Palestinians over the previous 24-hour period.
QNN reported that Israeli attacks on Sunday included the targeting of a group of civilians in Gaza City, where three were killed, and the bombing of a UN vehicle, which killed a 54-year-old driver of the car. Local sources also told QNN that at least four people were killed by the Israeli bombing of a home in the Bureij refugee camp.
The Health Ministry said that since the so-called “ceasefire” deal was signed in early October, Israeli attacks have killed at least 723 Palestinians and wounded 1,990. “A number of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews have been unable to reach them so far,” the ministry said.
There’s been no progress on implementing President Trump’s Gaza plan as Israel continues to occupy more than 50% of the territory. The US and Israel continue to demand that Hamas give up its weapons, but Hamas’s armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, said on Sunday that disarmament won’t be discussed until Israel fulfills its obligations under the ceasefire agreement.
