Dozens of civilians killed across Gaza as Israeli attacks target homes and aid seekers

Israeli forces killed at least 21 Palestinians and wounded dozens more on Monday in a series of air strikes and shootings across the Gaza Strip, including areas where civilians had gathered to receive humanitarian aid, according to Wafa news agency.

According to local sources, four civilians were killed and others wounded when Israeli warplanes targeted a house in Jabalia al-Balad, in the north of the enclave.

In the south, Israeli troops opened fire near an aid distribution centre northwest of Rafah, killing 10 people. Witnesses said large crowds had gathered in the area to collect much-needed food and supplies.
