GAZA CITY, Palestine / ISTANBUL (AA) - At least 35 people were killed, including aid seekers, and several others injured in a series of Israeli strikes across the Gaza Strip on Monday, according to medical sources.

Six people, one of them a toddler, were killed and 15 others injured in a strike that targeted a clinic-turned-shelter in the Al-Rimal neighborhood of Gaza City, a medical source told Anadolu.

In the southern part of Gaza City, the Israeli army struck a residential apartment in the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, resulting in the death of a Palestinian and injuring several others, medical sources and witnesses said.

A medical source from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital said three people were killed and others injured when the Israeli army targeted a house in the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza Strip.

In Gaza City, two Palestinians were killed when an Israeli airstrike hit a civilian vehicle in the Sabra neighborhood in the southern part of the city.

Israeli forces also opened fire on crowds gathered near aid distribution centers west of Rafah in southern Gaza, killing five Palestinians and wounding more than 40, according to medical sources.

In eastern Gaza, three Palestinians were killed in separate airstrikes on multiple locations. Two more — including a child — were killed in the Al-Daraj neighborhood when an Israeli strike hit a group of civilians.

In Al-Tuffah neighborhood, also in eastern Gaza City, two Palestinians were killed when an Israeli strike hit a residential home.

In northern Gaza, two Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on the town of Beit Lahia.

In the south of the strip, four more Palestinians were killed in two Israeli strikes near the residential city of Hamad, north of Khan Younis.

Three others were killed in separate Israeli attacks near Asdaa Prison and the town of Bani Suheila in Khan Younis, while two more Palestinians were killed in a strike near the Abu Hamid roundabout, east of the city.

Four others sustained critical injuries after the Israeli army hit a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in Deir al-Balah, the source added.

The Israeli army has killed more than 57,500 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in Gaza since October 2023.

US President Donald Trump, set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday, said he believed a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could happen this week.
