Ten people – including a former Palestinian prisoner who had been released from Israel under the previous ceasefire – were killed in an air raid that hit a home in Beit Lehia, according to the Indonesian hospital that received the dead.

In another attack on a home in Gaza City, seven people were killed, according to the rescue service controlled by the terrorist-stamped Hamas on the Gaza Strip. Two people were injured.

Late on Sunday, ten people were killed in an attack on a home in Khan Yunis, according to the Nasser Hospital that received the bodies.

The Israeli military has not initially commented on the reports.

"50 martyrs"

On Sunday, over 50 fatalities from Israeli attacks were brought to hospitals in the Gaza Strip, according to the region's civil defense.

50 martyrs have been counted, as a result of continued Israeli attacks since dawn, said official Mohammad al-Mughayyir of the authority, which is under the Islamist Hamas rule, to the AFP news agency.

The death toll includes, among others, nine people who were killed in an attack on a gathering of people in Gaza City.

There are also reports that the death toll continues to rise after the civil defense update.

No humanitarian aid

Israel's military offensive thus continues apparently unchecked since the country unilaterally broke a two-month ceasefire in mid-March. Since the beginning of March, Israel has also refused to allow humanitarian aid into the Palestinian area, which is causing misery and suffering to increase rapidly among the approximately two million inhabitants.

According to unverified reports from, among others, Gaza's health department, a total of around 55,000 people may have lost their lives in the war that began with Hamas' major terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Almost all, around 100 people per day on average, have been killed in Israeli attacks within Gaza.

Of the over 250 people who were kidnapped by Hamas at the beginning of the war, 58 are still being held as hostages. But about half of them are now feared to be dead.
