Palestinians in Gaza continue to mourn dead as Israeli strikes pound homes, shelters
The overall toll from the war has now surpassed 57,500 dead and more than 136,000 wounded
GAZA, Palestine (MNTV) — The besieged Gaza Strip endured another deadly day as Israeli air and ground assaults killed at least 105 Palestinians and wounded 356 others over the past 24 hours, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The strikes, which targeted residential areas, aid distribution sites, and shelters, have sparked fresh outrage across the region and renewed international calls for action.
Israeli forces on Monday hit several locations across Gaza killing 24 people.
In the al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, a strike on a clinic-turned-shelter killed six people, including a toddler, and injured 15.
In Tel al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City, an apartment strike left one dead and several injured. Similar attacks were reported in al-Bureij refugee camp, Deir al-Balah, and Jabalia, where drone strikes and artillery shelling added to the toll.
The Ramlaoui family lost two members when their home in al-Tuffah was bombed.
Aid seekers were not spared. Israeli forces opened fire near distribution points in Rafah, killing at least two civilians and wounding nearly 20 others.
In al-Zeitoun, shells rained down on a school sheltering displaced families, leaving multiple casualties.
Since the collapse of the ceasefire on March 18, Gaza’s Health Ministry reports at least 6,964 Palestinian deaths, with over 24,500 injured.
The overall toll from the war has now surpassed 57,500 dead and more than 136,000 wounded.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces arrested veteran Palestinian journalist Nasser al-Lahham during a violent raid on his Bethlehem home.
The editor-in-chief of Ma’an News Agency and Al-Mayadeen’s Palestine bureau chief, Lahham was detained after troops ransacked his house, destroyed personal belongings, and seized equipment.
Amid the ongoing violence, diplomatic voices are growing louder.
Twenty-six former British diplomats, including ex-ambassadors to key Middle Eastern nations, urged the U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron to recognise Palestine as a sovereign state. Macron, who is due in the U.K. on Tuesday, faces mounting pressure to act.
In Washington, US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a possible ceasefire deal this week, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived for talks and negotiations resumed in Qatar.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, while hopes for a political resolution remain fragile.
