GAZA, April 6 (Xinhua) -- At least 26 Palestinians were killed, and 113 others wounded by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, the Gaza-based health authorities said on Sunday.

The latest casualty has brought the death toll since Israel renewed its intensive strikes on March 18 across the Strip to 1,335, and the number of injuries to 3,297, the health authorities said in a statement.

Since the start of the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflict in early October 2023, a total of 50,695 Palestinians have been killed, the statement added.

The Israeli army continued on Sunday its heavy airstrikes and artillery shelling, targeting homes, tents, and Palestinian gatherings in the northern and southern Gaza Strip, according to local sources and eyewitnesses.

Meanwhile, Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, said on Sunday that they bombed a military vehicle in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City. No comment was made regarding the incident by the Israeli army.

In the West Bank, Palestinian factions have declared a general strike planned on Monday across the West Bank and its refugee camps, in protest of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip. Enditem
