Medical sources reported that the number of Palestinian martyrs has risen to 24 due to the ongoing Israeli bombardment, including two Palestinian women killed by a suicide drone explosion inside their tent.
Eyewitnesses said the bombing targeted homes, tents of displaced people, and civilian gatherings in various areas of the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources and eyewitnesses.
In the latest raid, a Palestinian was killed by Israeli quadcopter drone fire near Safad School in the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City.

"Mass migration" rumors
In a related development, the government media office in the Gaza Strip warned on Monday against the circulation of what it described as "misleading rumors" regarding alleged arrangements for a mass exodus from the Strip. This is part of a campaign orchestrated by Israel aimed at "undermining national awareness and undermining the resilience of Palestinians."
The office said in a statement: "We are monitoring the recent circulating posts and misleading information on social media regarding alleged arrangements for mass migration from the Gaza Strip. These posts are being circulated by controversial figures in collaboration with external parties, and are promoting the travel of Palestinian families via Ramon Airport to various countries around the world."
He added, "We categorically affirm that this information is completely false and part of a malicious and systematic campaign aimed at undermining the resilience of our Palestinian people, undermining their national consciousness, and pushing them toward forced migration under the pressure of suffering and war."
He stressed that "the Israeli occupation is behind these posts, and they are promoted by fake or biased accounts, misled accounts, or individuals lacking accurate information, who use fake documents and worthless legal power of attorney forms."
The statement pointed out that these people are promoting "the occupation's illusion of so-called safe migration, which it is responsible for funding, in an attempt to beautify the ugly face of mass displacement plans, which the occupation has failed to impose by force, and is now seeking to implement through soft, overt methods."
The Government Media Office clarified that "the few cases that have recently left the Gaza Strip are well known. They are among the sick and wounded who completed travel procedures to receive treatment abroad via the Kerem Shalom crossing, and are not immigrants. Any rumors to the contrary are deliberate lies and a distortion of the facts."
The office warned Palestinians of what it called "the danger of being drawn into this toxic propaganda, which serves a clear Zionist strategic goal that the occupation has dreamed of for decades: emptying the land of its indigenous Palestinian inhabitants and realizing Israel's dream."
No aid for 50 days
Meanwhile, UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said during a press conference held Monday at UN headquarters in New York that Israel has been preventing all types of aid from entering the Gaza Strip for 50 days, and that the impact on the Strip's population is "very serious."
Dujarric explained that the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) confirmed that no food, fuel, medicine, or other essential supplies have entered Gaza for 50 days.
He added that food stocks have decreased "dangerously" during this period, and that medicines, medical supplies, and vaccines are running out.
Dujarric noted that children and adults are suffering from hunger, and that the health system in the Strip is on the verge of collapse.
He added, "Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced, and Israeli attacks on humanitarian and health workers have increased once again."
