At least 20 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza since dawn, Palestinian media reported on Monday, citing medical officials.
According to Quds News Network, Israeli forces deployed explosive-laden robots in Gaza City residential neighborhoods, destroyed homes, and sparked widespread panic. Airstrikes also hit several districts and areas near a hospital, leaving multiple civilian casualties, including infants.

Attacks reportedly damaged aid distribution points, killing three people. Witnesses reported intense shelling and fresh airstrikes as hundreds of displaced families fled toward coastal areas. Hospitals, already overwhelmed by airstrike casualties, struggled to treat malnourished children amid severe shortages of medical supplies.

Since October 7, 2023, Israel’s campaign has killed 62,686 Palestinians and injured 157,951, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. It reported that more than 2,095 people were killed and over 15,430 were injured while trying to obtain food and aid.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor accused Israel of carrying out a plan to “raze and reoccupy” parts of Gaza under Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, documenting the use of explosive-laden robots and drone strikes in Jabalia, Zeitoun, Sabra, and al-Saftawi. The group warned that over one million people are now trapped in shrinking areas under forced displacement and escalating destruction “in plain sight of the international community.”

The organization urged immediate sanctions on Israel, enforcement of International Criminal Court warrants, and urgent global intervention to halt what it described as an unfolding genocide.
