GAZA CITY, Palestine/ISTANBUL

At least 51 people were killed and many others injured in Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Monday, medics said.

A medical source told Anadolu that four people were killed, including a pregnant woman and two children, and several others injured in Israeli strikes on homes in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza City.

Ten people were killed and several others injured in another wave of strikes on Al-Nafaq Street and the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in the city.

Five more Palestinians lost their lives and several people were injured in two Israeli strikes in the same neighborhood.

A Palestinian couple and their son were killed when the Israeli army hit a residential building near the Al-Sahaba Medical Complex in Gaza City.

In the eastern Zeitoun neighborhood, two civilians were killed and many others wounded in Israeli strikes.

Three more people were killed in a drone strike in Gaza City’s Sabra neighborhood, while four others died when a drone struck a group of civilians near a school sheltering displaced families.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army continued to detonate homes in the Zeitoun neighborhood by blowing up booby-trapped robots and old military vehicles planted between buildings, witnesses told Anadolu.

In recent days, thousands of Palestinians have been displaced from northeastern Gaza City to its western areas under heavy Israeli fire after Tel Aviv on Friday declared the city — home to about a million people — a “dangerous combat zone.”

On Aug. 8, Israel’s Security Cabinet approved a plan by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to gradually reoccupy the Gaza Strip beginning with Gaza City.

In the central Gaza Strip, the Israeli army shelled a home for a Palestinian family in the Bureij refugee camp, resulting in the death of a couple and their daughter, said medical sources from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Israeli aircraft targeted tents sheltering displaced Palestinians within the walls of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital near the outpatient clinic in Deir al-Balah, resulting in a number of injuries and material damage.

Three more people were killed in the Netzarim area of central Gaza by Israeli gunfire.

In the southern Gaza Strip, the Israeli army killed three Palestinians in a strike on Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, and a woman with gunfire in Al-Mawasi, in the west of the city.

Two more people were killed when Israeli jets struck a tent for displaced families on al-Nasr Street in Gaza City, while two others lost their lives while waiting for aid at the Morag corridor south of Khan Younis.

In northwestern Gaza, two Palestinians waiting for aid were shot dead by Israeli forces in the Zikim area, while a second attack there killed three more aid-seekers and wounded over 50 others.

Separately, an Israeli airstrike hit the Ard al-Insan displacement camp next to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, killing one Palestinian and injuring several others.

Israel has killed over 63,500 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for 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.
