At least 32 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on multiple areas of the Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to Gaza's Civil Defense, reported Xinhua.
Mahmoud Basal, a spokesperson for the authority, told Xinhua that 17 people were killed and dozens wounded in Israeli strikes targeting a house and gatherings west and east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
In Gaza City, drone strikes killed 10 people, including a girl and three women, as Israeli forces targeted civilian gatherings in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, Basal added.
Three others were killed when Israeli aircraft bombed two apartments in the al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Another two fatalities were reported following an attack in the Bir al-Na'ja area in the north.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Saturday that its air force struck more than 100 targets across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours.
Among the targets were "terrorists from the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, military structures, underground routes, and additional terrorist infrastructure sites," the statement said.
As part of its ongoing Operation Gideon's Chariots, the IDF said it had neutralized militants and "dismantled booby-trapped buildings, underground sites, and anti-tank missile positions" during ground operations.
Since Israel resumed its military campaign on March 18, at least 3,747 Palestinians have been killed and 10,552 wounded, bringing the overall death toll in Gaza since the war began in October 2023 to 53,901, with a total of 122,593 people injured, according to health authorities in Gaza on Saturday.
