ANKARA (AA) - Israeli airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza killed dozens of Palestinians on Monday evening, Palestinian official news agency Wafa reported.

At least 31 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli airstrike, which also left dozens injured, said the agency.

It added that the Israeli airstrikes targeted 12 homes in a densely populated area near the Jabalia Services Club in the camp for Palestinian refugees.

As the Israeli assault on the Gaza Strip entered its 38th day, at least 11,180 Palestinians have been killed, including over 7,700 children and women, and more than 28,200 others have been injured, according to the latest figures from Palestinian authorities.

Thousands of buildings, including hospitals, mosques, and churches, have also been damaged or destroyed in Israel's relentless air and ground attacks on the besieged enclave since last month.

The Israeli death toll, meanwhile, is nearly 1,200, according to official figures.
