Dozens of civilians, mostly children, have been killed and injured since dawn on Monday as Israeli airstrikes continue to target various areas of the Gaza Strip.
Medical sources reported that eight civilians lost their lives when Israeli forces bombed the Kawareh family home in Khan Yunis. Additionally, two more civilians were killed in an attack on the Shafi’i refugee camp west of the city.

In the northern Gaza Strip, ten people were killed in an airstrike that destroyed a house west of the Jabalia refugee camp, and six others were martyred in a similar attack on a residence in the western part of Beit Lahiya.
Massive Impact on Civilians
Medical sources report that over 65% of the victims of these attacks were children, women, and elderly people. Additionally, over 5,070 Palestinian families have been decimated, leaving only one survivor in each family.
The occupation forces have also targeted medical and rescue personnel, killing over 1,400 doctors and healthcare workers, as well as 113 members of the civil defense team while they were performing their humanitarian duties.
In an effort to silence the truth, around 212 journalists have been executed by Israeli occupation forces.
The Israeli occupation forces have been responsible for what can only be described as a genocide, with over 18,000 children, 12,400 women, and more than 2,180 families wiped out entirely.
Targeting Gaza’s Future: Educators and Students
The violence has extended to Gaza’s educational sector, with more than 13,000 students and 800 teachers and educational staff martyred. Additionally, over 150 researchers, professors, and scholars have lost their lives in the attacks, along with thousands of civil servants and workers vital to Gaza’s infrastructure.
Israeli Forces Release 11 Gaza Detainees
In a separate development, Israeli occupation forces released 11 Palestinian prisoners from Gaza on Monday. The freed detainees were transported to the European Gaza Hospital in Khan Yunis, in the southern part of the strip. These individuals were part of the initial phase of a prisoner exchange agreement, which Israel has since abandoned following its withdrawal from the ceasefire agreement on March 18, 2025.

Later on Monday, the Gaza Civil Defense announced running out of fuel supplies for operating vehicles in southern Gaza Governorates.
