On Monday, Day 91 since the resumption of genocide on March 18th following just 52 days of a ceasefire, Day 618 since October 7, 2023, Israeli missiles and shells killed and injured dozens of Palestinians, including children and women, across the devastated, starved, and besieged Gaza Strip.

Update: Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 43 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since dawn, Monday, among them 26 aid-seeking residents who were shot in the ‘hunger games’ style so-called ‘aid distribution’ sites run by the Christian Zionist US company GHF.

A Palestinian woman was killed, and several residents were injured when Israeli soldiers targeted Palestinians awaiting humanitarian aid north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.

Thirteen Palestinians were killed, including children and women, and many were injured when the Israeli army bombarded a home belonging to the Ghorab family in the eastern part of the Nuseirat refugee camp.

Some of the slain Palestinians have been identified as Majd Bayan Abu Nar, Fahed Nabil Shabrawi, Siwar Fahed Shabrawi, the mother of Mahmoud Abu Nar, Lyan Mohammad Ibrahim Shahin (child), Sana Mohammad Al-Haj, Hussein Ibrahim Mohammad Al-Haj, Mohammad Hussein Al-Haj, Abu Ibrahim Al-Haj, and Nagham Zoheir Al-Attar.

In Deir Al-Balah, in central Gaza, at least five Palestinians were killed and many injured in an Israeli bombing of a home belonging to the Ghleiba family in the eastern part of the city.

In Gaza City, Israeli missiles killed at least one woman and caused several injuries in a home belonging to the Abu Matar family near Hamad Hospital in the western part of the city, while rescue teams continue searching for more victims under the rubble.

An earlier bombing of the Tuffah neighborhood in the eastern part of Gaza City killed three Palestinians and injured many others near the Dar Al-Arqam School.

Additionally, a child was killed, and several members of her family were injured in an Israeli bombing of the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

Also in Gaza, two Palestinian fishermen were killed, and one remains missing, after Israeli navy ships opened fire at them while trying to fish to provide for their families, near the Gaza shore.

In northern Gaza, the Israeli army wired and detonated, many homes and residential buildings in areas in the eastern part of Jabalia town.

In Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, at least ten humanitarian-aid seeking Palestinians were injured by Israeli army fired in the western part of the city.

In related news, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority has reported renewed disruptions in fixed-line and internet services across southern and central Gaza, citing continued damage to infrastructure amid ongoing Israeli attacks.

In a statement released Monday, the authority confirmed it is closely monitoring the situation with service providers, conducting real-time technical assessments to support efforts aimed at restoring connectivity as swiftly as possible.

The authority reiterated its call for ensuring the safety of technical teams and granting them secure access to affected sites, an essential measure to maintain vital services, particularly given the severe humanitarian conditions in Gaza.

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said its fighters struck an Israeli tank with a shell, killing and wounding many soldiers in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza. They added that their fighters also fired shells from Beit Lahia, targeting Israeli areas across the perimeter fence.

The Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, stated that its fighters also fired shells at Israeli soldiers operating in Al-Qarara near Khan Younis.

The Israeli army said one of its commanders and a soldier from the Kfir Brigade were killed in gunbattles with Palestinian fighters in southern Gaza.

The Health Ministry in Gaza said 65 Palestinians were killed, including eight who were found under the rubble, and at least 315 were injured in Israeli attacks over the last 24 hours in the Gaza Strip.

The Health Ministry added that the Israeli army has killed 61 Palestinians, in addition to causing dozens of injuries, near American-run aid distribution centers since Saturday.

Update: The Palestinian Health Ministry has confirmed that twenty Palestinians were killed and more than 200 injured by Israeli army fired near aid distribution centers, west of Rafah city, in Gaza’s southmost part.

At least 48 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours; 30 near an aid center west of Rafah in the Gaza Strip’s southernmost part, 10 near aid centers in other parts of the city, three who succumbed to their wounds, and five who were targeted by Israeli drones near Jouret Al-Loot, south of Khan Younis.
