The Palestinian death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip had risen to 41,252, Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Tuesday.
During the past 24 hours, the Israeli military killed 26 Palestinians and wounded 84 others, bringing the total death toll to 41,252 and the injured to 95,497 since the outbreak of the latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in October last year, the health authorities said.
Israeli aircraft targeted a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip on Monday, killing at least 10, according to the Palestinian official news agency WAFA.
The airstrike completely destroyed the house and caused damage to neighboring homes.
The victims included women and children, and another 15 people injured were transported to hospital with varying degrees of wounds.
Also on Monday, a separate Israeli shelling of a makeshift bakery in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip killed at least five Palestinians, including a child, and injured several others, according to security and medical sources.
So far, the Israeli army has not commented on the two attacks.
Separately, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported two fatalities on Monday resulting from previous Israeli military operations in the northern West Bank.
Tensions in the West Bank have heightened since the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip on Oct 7, 2023.

East China's Zhejiang Province has adopted a series of precaution measures against the nearing Typhoon Pulasan, the 14th typhoon of the year, which is expected to make landfall along Zhejiang's coastal areas between Thursday afternoon and evening.
Earlier on Wednesday, the province activated the Level-IV emergency response and raised it to Level III at 09:30 on Thursday.
Taizhou City of Zhejiang, where landfall is expected, has implemented comprehensive measures to brace for the approaching typhoon.
Jiantiao town in Sanmen County of Taizhou is home to more than 30 marine-related enterprises, and local staff have conducted inspections and reinforcements on relevant vessels, gantry cranes, and mobile cranes in advance.
Currently, more than 3,000 workers in the town have temporarily stopped work and evacuated.
The originally scheduled date for the opening of the East China Sea fishing season on September 16 was postponed due to the impact of Typhoon Bebinca and Typhoon Pulasan. Currently, over 3,000 fishing boats in Taizhou have all returned to ports to seek shelter.
In Sanjiangkou of Ningbo City, along the river embankment in Jiangbei District, approximately 55 kilometers of flood barriers have been constructed. In Yinzhou District, about 28 kilometers of flood barriers have also been built to ensure the safety of the shops and residents along the river.
At the same time, Ningbo City has activated a Level-IV response to Typhoon Pulasan. If the emergency response level is raised to Level-I, flood barriers will be further reinforced by approximately half a meter to reach a total height of 4.63 meters.
At present, 170 vessels are temporarily docked at various piers with the assistance of the maritime department. Meanwhile, the maritime authorities are strengthening inspections to ensure all boats are safely sheltered from the typhoon. All four ongoing water-related projects in the area have also been halted.
China has a four-tier emergency response system, with Level I being the most severe.
