Israeli air strikes on Monday targeted the homes of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and martyred 19 people, including women and children.
As per details, Gaza’s civil defence agency said two Israeli air strikes martyred at least 19 people in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory’s north early Monday.
“Our teams found 15 martyrs and 10 wounded, mostly children and women, after an Israeli strike on three apartments northwest of Gaza City, said the agency’s spokesman, Mahmud Bassal.
The Israeli military has yet to comment on the reported strikes.
It has intensified aerial bombardments and expanded ground operations in the Gaza Strip since resuming its offensive in the Palestinian territory on March 18.
Israel blocked the entry of all aid into the besieged territory of about 2.4 million people on March 2.
Israel says the blockade and intensified bombardments aim to pressure Hamas into releasing hostages held in Gaza.
Hamas in the territory still holds 58 hostages seized in the October 2023 attack on Israel.
The army says 34 of them are dead. Hamas is also holding the remains of an Israeli soldier killed in a previous war in Gaza in 2014.
Israel’s military offensive has killed at least 52,535 people in Gaza, the majority of them civilians, according to the health ministry in the Hamas-run territory.
