GAZA/JERUSALEM - At least 32 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on multiple areas of the Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to Gaza's Civil Defense.
Mahmoud Basal, a spokesperson for the authority, told Xinhua that 17 people were killed and dozens wounded in Israeli strikes targeting a house and gatherings west and east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
In Gaza City, drone strikes killed 10 people, including a girl and three women, as Israeli forces targeted civilian gatherings in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, Basal added.
Three others were killed when Israeli aircraft bombed two apartments in the al-Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Another two fatalities were reported following an attack in the Bir al-Na'ja area in the north.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement on Saturday that its air force struck more than 100 targets across the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours.
Among the targets were "terrorists from the terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, military structures, underground routes, and additional terrorist infrastructure sites," the statement said.
As part of its ongoing Operation Gideon's Chariots, the IDF said it had neutralized militants and "dismantled booby-trapped buildings, underground sites, and anti-tank missile positions" during ground operations.
Since Israel resumed its military campaign on March 18, at least 3,747 Palestinians have been killed and 10,552 wounded, bringing the overall death toll in Gaza since the war began in October 2023 to 53,901, with a total of 122,593 people injured, according to health authorities in Gaza on Saturday.

Also on Saturday, the Hamas-run Gaza government media office said that the humanitarian aid that has entered the Gaza Strip accounts for less than 1 percent of the Gaza population's basic needs.
"During the 84 days of the blockade and complete closure, at least 46,200 trucks loaded with aid and fuel were supposed to enter the Gaza Strip to meet the minimum needs of the population," the office said in a statement.
"However, in recent days, the occupation (Israel) has been promoting a misleading narrative claiming that it is allowing the entry of 'aid,' while the reality shows that only about 100 trucks have actually entered, representing less than 1 percent of the population's basic needs," it added.

The office noted that the aid included limited quantities of medicine and flour that reached a limited number of bakeries, at a time "when the occupation continues to disrupt the operation of more than 90 percent of the Strip's bakeries."
Israel agreed last week to lift nearly three months of blockade and allow limited relief into the enclave. However, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday that "all the aid authorized until now amounts to a teaspoon of aid when a flood of assistance is required."
