Israeli warplanes have conducted fresh air raids on several areas across the Gaza Strip, killing at least 22 Palestinians.

Citing health sources, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reported on Monday that 10 people, including three children, lost their lives in Israeli bombing of two homes in al-Rumaydah area in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis.

A separate Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis hit the home of Abu Khater family, killing two Palestinians and injuring others, the report added.

It also said that an Israeli attack targeted the vicinity of Gaza’s European Hospital near Khan Yunis.

The report further said that in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, Israeli aerial assaults targeted houses in the Saudi and Oreiba neighborhoods.

Earlier, similar attacks by Israeli warplanes killed 10 civilians at Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps in central Gaza.

Reports said children made up most of the casualties in the Bureij camp strikes.

Israel waged a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 7 after the Hamas resistance movement carried out its historic operation against the usurping entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

So far, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 36,439 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 82,627 others in the Gaza Strip.
