Gaza City: At least 48 more Palestinians were killed in unabated Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since October 2023 to 45,854, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Monday. A ministry statement added that some 109,139 others were injured in the ongoing assault.

According to Anadolu Agency, the ministry reported that Israeli forces killed 48 people and injured 75 others in three massacres of families in the last 24 hours. The statement highlighted the dire situation, noting that many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them.

Israel has continued its military actions against the Gaza Strip since a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire. The ongoing conflict has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions labeling the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy a population.

In November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Additionally, Israel is facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
