At least five people were killed and several others injured on Monday evening during an Israeli bombardment targeting a tent sheltering displaced people west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to a report by the Palestinian official news agency WAFA.
In a separate attack, at least 20 Palestinians were killed and more than 30 others injured due to an Israeli bombing of the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, according to Al-Awda Hospital in the camp, Xinhua news agency reported.

The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip has risen to 43,603, Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Sunday.
