40 reported killed in Israeli attack on Gaza

The Gaza Civil Defense Agency said Israeli strikes on Monday killed at least 40 people across the Palestinian territory, where aid has been blocked for more than 50 days.

Israel resumed its military campaign in the Gaza Strip on March 18. A ceasefire agreement that had largely halted fighting for two months collapsed due to disagreements between Israel and the Palestinian group designated a terrorist organization by the US and EU, Hamas, whose attack triggered the war in 2023.

Civil defense official Mohammed al-Mughayyir told AFP that 40 people had been killed since dawn on Monday. Among them were eight people who were killed in an Israeli strike on the Abu Mahadi family home in Jabalia, in the north of the territory.

"They were sleeping in their homes, feeling safe, when the rockets hit... this scene makes you tremble," said Abdul Majeed Abu Mahadi, 67, who added that his brother was killed in the attack.

"If a person were to look at this scene, see children, women and old men torn apart, it hurts your heart, but what can we do?" he added.
