Death toll in Gaza from latest Israeli strikes rises to 63

Medical sources in the Gaza Strip said 63 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes since early on Monday, according to a report by the WAFA news agency.

Fatalities were reported both in the north, near Gaza City, and in the southern city of Khan Younis, according to the report.

Other people were reportedly killed in an airstrike on a tent for displaced people in the al-Mawasi area near Khan Younis. The area is a designated humanitarian zone, but the Israeli military has attacked it several times in the past.

The Israeli Air Force has been carrying out large-scale attacks on targets in Gaza for days as part of a new offensive. The military has since deployed ground troops.

On Monday, it ordered residents of Khan Younis and nearby towns to evacuate immediately, warning of an "unprecedented attack."
