Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip have killed at least 24 people in the past 140 hours, local health officials said.

Of these, at least 40 have been killed since this morning in Israeli gunfire and airstrikes, the Gaza Health Ministry said.

Almost every day for the past three weeks, people have been killed while waiting in line for humanitarian aid, ever since Israel partially lifted its blockade of the territory.

Medics said separate airstrikes on homes in the Magazi refugee camp, Zeytoun settlement and Gaza city killed at least 21 people, while five were killed in an airstrike on a camp in Khan Yunis.

Fourteen more people were killed in gunfire on displaced Palestinians waiting for trucks carrying humanitarian aid brought by the United Nations to central Gaza, medics said.

The Israeli military said it was investigating allegations of killings of people waiting for food.

Regarding the other strikes, it was stated that "operational action is being taken to dismantle Hamas' military capabilities" and "feasible precautions are being taken to mitigate harm to civilians."

Gaza residents are concerned that the renewed intensification of attacks on the territory has shifted the focus to the conflict between Israel and Iran, which has been going on for six days, Reuters reports.
