Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said Israeli fire and airstrikes had killed 13 people and wounded around 60 across Gaza in the preceding 24 hours. The figures highlight the continuing human toll of the violence in the Palestinian territory.

The latest deaths were reported amid ongoing attacks in several parts of Gaza. Medical sources and first responders confirmed the deaths of the five Palestinians on Monday, although further details about their identities and the precise locations of the strikes were not included in the supplied report.

The deaths have added to the suffering of civilians already facing the consequences of prolonged conflict, damaged infrastructure and pressure on medical services. Children remain particularly vulnerable in areas affected by airstrikes and armed violence.

Bassal’s statement provided a broader picture of casualties over the previous day, reporting 13 deaths and approximately 60 injuries from Israeli fire and airstrikes. The figures cover the wider 24-hour period and are separate from the five deaths reported on Monday.

Gaza’s medical and emergency response teams continue to deal with casualties as violence persists. Hospitals and first responders have faced substantial demands during the conflict, while families affected by the attacks confront further loss and uncertainty.

The latest incident comes amid the wider Israel-Palestine conflict, in which civilian casualties and humanitarian conditions remain major concerns. Further information about the circumstances of the strikes and the identities of those killed was not available in the supplied report.

The reported figures were attributed to local medical sources and Gaza Civil Defence, and further updates may change the overall casualty count.
