Gaza’s Health Ministry said Sunday that Israeli forces killed at least 51 Palestinians and wounded 164 in the previous 24-hour period as relentless Israeli strikes continued across the Strip.

Dozens of Palestinians were killed by an Israeli strike on a house sheltering displaced Palestinians in Jabalia, which has been under a total siege since early October as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign being conducted by the Israeli military. According to Al Jazeera, at least 33 Palestinians, including 13 children, were reported killed in the strike on Jabalia.

A day earlier, Reuters reported that a strike hit al-Mawasi, a coastal area that the Israeli military has designated a so-called “safe zone,” but it has come under repeated attack. The strike, which hit al-Mawasi on Friday, killed children as they were preparing to play soccer.
