Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip killed at least 80 more Palestinians, bringing the death toll from Israel's genocidal war since October 2023 to 50,357, the Health Ministry said on Monday.

A ministry statement said that 53 victims were brought to Gaza hospitals on Sunday, the first day of the Eid al-Fitr holiday.

It added that 305 more injured people were also transferred to hospitals in the last 48 hours, taking the number of injuries to 114,400 in the Israeli onslaught.

"Many victims are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them," it added.

The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial campaign on the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing over 1,000 people and injuring nearly 2,400 others despite a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
