At least seven Palestinian civilians, including a seven-year-old schoolgirl, were martyred and several others wounded in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Monday, as Israeli forces continued strikes and gunfire targeting multiple areas of the besieged enclave, local sources said.

In Gaza City, an Israeli drone targeted a group of civilians near the Social Insurance and Pensions headquarters in the al-Rimal neighborhood, killing one Palestinian and injuring several others, according to media and local sources.

In southern Gaza, seven-year-old schoolgirl Juri as-Sufi and two other Palestinians were martyred in Israeli gunfire and aerial attacks targeting the al-Iqilimi area, southwest of Khan Yunis.

Israeli forces also opened fire on tents sheltering displaced Palestinians in the Bir 19 area of Khan Yunis, injuring a young man and a young girl, local sources reported.

Several Palestinians were wounded in a separate Israeli drone strike in western Khan Yunis earlier in the day.

In central Gaza, two Palestinians were martyred and another wounded when an Israeli quadcopter dropped an explosive device on them in the eastern part of Deir al-Balah later in the evening.

Another Palestinian civilian was martyred and several others wounded in an Israeli strike targeting a tent in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, where displaced families have sought refuge.

The attacks came amid continued Israeli military activity across the Gaza Strip, including gunfire, artillery shelling, drone overflights and demolitions in several areas.

The latest casualties underscore the continuing dangers facing Palestinian civilians, including children and displaced families living in makeshift shelters, as attacks continue across the war-ravaged territory. (ILKHA)
