No fewer than 25 Palestinians were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip on Monday morning, Palestinian media reported, citing local medical sources.
The reported fatalities have not been independently verified, and neither Hamas authorities in Gaza nor the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have issued official statements on the incidents, instead the IDF said it is reviewing the reports.
According to Palestinian outlets, a drone strike overnight in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, struck a tent sheltering displaced families, killing five people, including a one-year-old infant and two children aged 12 and 13.
A separate strike in the same city on Monday morning reportedly left another five people dead. In southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, local media reported that eight people were killed in an additional strike.
The casualty reports come amid ongoing fighting, as negotiations for a possible ceasefire remain under discussion.
