At least 36 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, with casualties reported in Gaza City, Jabaliya, and Khan Yunis.
Thirty-six Palestinians were killed on Tuesday morning in heavy Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip, with the majority of casualties reported in Gaza City neighborhoods, where 27 people lost their lives.
Hospital sources in Gaza, cited by Al-Jazeera, said that among the victims were 14 Palestinians who had been seeking aid, including nine killed near the Wadi Gaza Bridge, south of the Netzarim axis in central Gaza.
According to Al-Jazeera, Israeli forces also carried out strikes on buildings in Jabaliya, in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Al-Shifa Medical Complex confirmed that nine people, including children, were killed when an Israeli airstrike hit a house in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood, southwest of Gaza City.

Emergency services also reported casualties after an Israeli strike targeted a tent sheltering displaced families in the area.
Ongoing Genocide
Since reneging on the ceasefire on March 18, Israel has continued its bloody aerial bombardment across the Gaza Strip, killing and wounding thousands of Palestinians.
Starting on October 7, 2023, the Israeli military, with American support, launched a genocidal war against the people of Gaza. This campaign has so far resulted in the deaths of more than 63,500 Palestinians, with more than 160,000 wounded. The vast majority of the population has been displaced, and the destruction of infrastructure is unprecedented since World War II. Thousands of people are still missing.
In addition to the military assault, the Israeli blockade has caused a man-made famine, leading to the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians—mostly children—with hundreds of thousands more at risk.
Despite widespread international condemnation, little has been done to hold Israel accountable. The nation is currently under investigation for genocide by the International Court of Justice, while accused war criminals, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, are officially wanted by the International Criminal Court.
