Palestinians report dozens dead in latest Israeli strikes on Gaza

Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip on Monday have resulted in dozens killed, the Hamas-controlled Civil Defence said.

The agency reported that by Monday evening, at least 51 Palestinians had been killed across the territory. In a single attack in Gaza City, located in the northern part of the region, rescue workers recovered 15 bodies. Dozens of others were injured in the incident.

The civil defence did not initially provide information on the identities of the victims and the report could not initially be independently verified.

Israel's military stated, upon request, that it would investigate the matter.

Arab media reported further casualties in the evening following an Israeli airstrike on a vehicle in Nuseirat, located in central Gaza. The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported six deaths.

This report also could not be independently verified, and the Israeli military did not immediately comment on the matter when asked.
