At least eight people killed and dozens wounded as Israel carries out air raids across Gaza, health officials say.
At least eight people have been killed and dozens wounded in Israeli attacks across Gaza, according to health authorities, as Israel ordered some residents in northern Gaza to evacuate their homes.
Health officials said two Israeli air strikes on Monday had killed seven people in central Gaza and another strike killed one man in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The armed wings of the Palestinian groups Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad said they fought against Israeli forces in several areas across the Gaza Strip with antitank rockets and mortar fire.
The Israeli military said its forces continued to dismantle military infrastructure and killed dozens of Palestinian fighters in recent days, including senior Hamas and Islamic Jihad commanders.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Monday that at least 40,988 Palestinians have been killed and 94,825 wounded in Israeli attacks on the besieged enclave since October last year. In the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 1,139 people were killed.
