Israel continues to commit genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip for the 150th consecutive day by launching dozens of air strikes, artillery shelling, and fire belts at the besieged territory.

The Palestinian Information Center reported that the Israeli aircraft and artillery continued their raids and violent bombardment on Monday in various parts of the Gaza Strip, targeting homes and killing hundreds of civilians.

Israeli jets bombed the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip overnight, killing at least 13 Palestinians, including children, according to initial reports.

Seven people were killed and several others injured after the Israeli military targeted a house in Khirbet Al-Adas in Rafah. The search continues for a number of missing people under the rubble.

The regime also targeted a house near Al-Awda Roundabout in central Rafah, which killed and wounded many people who were taken to Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital, and bombed another house located near a school in the city.

Israeli warplanes, meanwhile, bombed a cemetery built by the Palestinian people in the Jabalia refugee camp and conducted a raid targeting the eastern areas of the camp in the north of Gaza.

They also bombed a house sheltering displaced people in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip early Monday morning, killing at least 12 Palestinians and leaving 45 others injured.

Local sources reported that many people were injured in an Israeli bombing of a house in al-Mawasi, situated west of the city of Khan Yunis.

The Israeli aircraft bombed a house on Al-Jalaa Street in Gaza City in the wee hours of Monday and targeted the vicinity of the Sheikh Zayed and Tal al-Zaatar areas in the northern Gaza Strip and the headquarters of the Engineers Syndicate near Sheikh Zayed.

In the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces killed a 16-year-old boy amid raids in several cities.

The Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement said it foiled two attempts by Israeli soldiers to infiltrate Lebanese late on Sunday. The Israeli military did not comment. 

According to Israeli media, senior members of the military’s Spokesperson’s Unit have resigned.

Since October 7, at least 30,410 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed and more than 71,700 injured as a result of the Israeli regime forces' continuous onslaught in the Gaza Strip.

Israel has also imposed a crippling blockade on Gaza, leaving its population, particularly residents of northern Gaza, on the verge of starvation.

In its interim ruling in January, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to take all measures within its power to stop genocidal acts in Gaza and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in the besieged Strip.
