At least 51 Palestinians were killed and several others injured Tuesday in new Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, medical sources said.

Two Palestinians were shot dead and dozens injured by Israeli forces near a distribution center northwest of Rafah in southern Gaza.

In northern Gaza, six people, including a woman and a child, were killed when an Israeli helicopter bombed two apartments in western Gaza City.

An Israeli drone strike on the Al-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City killed 11 Palestinians, including five children, and injured 20 others.

In Sheikh Radwan, three people were killed in an artillery strike east of the neighborhood, while three more died in a drone attack near a school in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood.

One civilian was killed in an airstrike on a residential building in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, while two others died in shelling in eastern Gaza City.

Five Palestinians were killed in an earlier strike that targeted a home in the Al-Zarqa neighborhood in northeastern Gaza.

Another person died in a separate airstrike on a house in the Al-Zeitoun area in the southeast of the city.

In a second strike on the Al-Shati camp, five family members were killed and others wounded when their home was destroyed. A fire broke out at the site, and several people were reported missing under the rubble, according to witnesses.

In Sheikh Radwan, an Israeli strike on a tent sheltering displaced persons killed one woman and wounded others.

Civilians were injured in another airstrike on a tent camp in Al-Rimal neighborhood, west of Gaza City.

Meanwhile, in eastern Jabalia, Israeli forces continued demolishing homes and buildings, triggering large explosions.

A Palestinian waiting for food aid was also shot and killed by Israeli forces in the Al-Sudaniya area, northwest of Gaza.

In southern Gaza, seven people were killed when an Israeli drone struck a group of civilians in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis.

Two women were also shot dead near a US-Israeli aid distribution center west of Rafah.

Separately, one displaced person was killed in an Israeli strike on a tent near the Jarar Al-Qudra School in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, Israel has pursued a brutal offensive on Gaza since late October 2023, killing nearly 58,500 Palestinians, most of them women and children.

The relentless bombardment has destroyed the enclave and led to food shortages and the spread of diseases.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
