Ongoing massacres
Overnight into Monday, Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip have killed at least 27 Palestinians, according to local health officials.
The occupation army has carried out daily strikes on Gaza since ending its ceasefire agreement with Hamas in March.
Additionally, it has cut off the territory's two million Palestinians from all sorts of aid, including food and medicine, since the beginning of the same month.
The daily bombardment and widespread hunger are taking a heavy toll on Gaza's most vulnerable residents, especially pregnant women and children.
An Israeli airstrike hit a home in Beit Lahiya on Monday, killing 10 Palestinians, including prisoner Abdel-Fattah Abu Mahadi, who had been released as part of the ceasefire, AP reported.
Abu Mahadi's wife, two of their children, and a grandchild were also killed, the Indonesian Hospital, which received the bodies, said.
Another Israeli strike hit a home in Gaza City, killing seven people, including two women. Two other people were wounded.
Late on Sunday, an Israeli strike hit another home in the southern city of Khan Younis, killing at least 10 people, including five siblings as young as 4 years old, according to the Ministry of Health.
Two other children were killed along with their parents on the same day, according to Nasser Hospital, which received the bodies.
Since this monstrous war began in Gaza, Israel has killed over 52,000 Palestinians. Its bombardments and ground assaults have destroyed vast areas of the strip, leaving most of its population homeless.
