Gaza – Ma’an – Bloodshed continued in theGaza Strip as Israel continued fierce land, sea, and air attacks for a tenth consecutive day. Eighteen Palestinians were killed overnight.

The death toll since the beginning of the ground invasion on Saturday rose to 86, and the total death toll since the beginning of Israeli aggression rose to 526 and more than 2450 injured.

The last victim reported by medical sources was a man from Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip killed during Israeli ground invasion of the Al-Atatra neighborhood. Medics also said they transferred two dead bodies from Jabaliya Refugee Camp in the northern Gaza Strip to Kamal Udwan Hospital.

Seven members of the Abu Eisha family arrived in a hospital torn to pieces, said sources at Ash-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. According to the sources, parents and their five children were killed in overnight naval strike at their home in Al-Mashtal area in the north of Ash-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City.

Palestinian medical sources also confirmed on Monday morning death of six people from the Samudi family including three children as their home was shelled in the Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City.

Earlier, Israeli soldiers opened fire towards residential houses in the Zaytoun neighborhood killing a five-year-old baby girl from Al-Hilou family and her grandfather. The girl’s mother was critically injured. All the victims were evacuated to Ash-Shifa Hospital.

Israeli forces intensified their raids after midnight, shelling four homes of Hamas leaders as well as home of Jamil Mizhir, a senior leader in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), in An-Nuseirat Refugee Camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Al-Umma University of Police Sciences in An-Nuseir neighborhood in Gaza City was also bombarded. A car was targeted west of Ash-Shifa tower in Ash-Shati camp, and as a result two were injured.

The Israeli military also issued a statment saying that warplanes struck more than 30 targets over night including:

· A mosque Israel says was used for storing weaponry
· An underground bunker in the area of Gaza city. The Israeli army says the attack caused secondary explosions indicating there were explosives inside. Tunnels in the area collapsed.
