The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 45,317, with 107,713 others injured, the Gaza-based health authorities said in a statement on Monday.
During the past 24 hours, the Israeli military killed 58 people and wounded 86 others in Gaza, according to the statement.
The Hamas-run media office said on Monday that more than 50 Palestinians were killed or injured in an Israeli military operation in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.
The office described the Israeli army's actions as a "horrific, brutal crime," claiming that the camp was stormed by over 17 tanks, bulldozers, military vehicles, and dozens of heavily armed soldiers, supported by drones.
The statement said that the casualties were all civilians, and more than half of them were women and children. It also reported that over 20 housing units were destroyed, with significant and widespread damage sustained during the Israeli attacks.
Israel's military and Shin Bet security agency also announced on Monday that they had killed Muhammad Ahmed Albec, the head of the National Security Directorate of Hamas' Security Services, in an airstrike on a school in Gaza.
At least eight people were killed in the strike Sunday on the Musa bin Nusair school in Gaza City's Daraj al-Tuffah neighborhood, which was sheltering displaced people, according to Palestinian health officials.
The Israeli military and Shin Bet claimed in a joint statement that a Hamas command center was located within the school compound, which was struck by the air force. It described Albec as "a central figure" in Hamas' security apparatus.

A revolutionary agricultural project, jointly developed by Chinese experts and Pakistani researchers, is taking shape in Pakistan's Punjab province, driving innovation on an unprecedented scale and aiming to tackle food insecurity, a pressing issue both domestically and globally.
Spanning over 5,000 acres (more than 2,000 hectares), a high-tech farm in the province is at the forefront of transforming Pakistan's agricultural landscape.
It's part of a larger effort to achieve food security by leveraging cutting-edge technologies and collaborative expertise.
At the heart of this project is the use of high efficiency irrigation systems and state-of-the-art agricultural machinery.
By integrating both imported Chinese equipment and locally manufactured tools, the goal here is clear - maximize yields while minimizing costs.
"We have taken advantage of Chinese technology, especially in agricultural mechanization. We have introduced and imported state-of-the-art Chinese tractors which are very comfortable and work at scale. They have a higher rate of efficiency per day per person than our traditional model of tractors," said Sarfaraz, a farm manager.
Pakistan's agricultural sector has long faced challenges. With more than 60 percent of farmers relying on low-quality seeds from informal markets, the initiative seeks to bridge the gap by developing hybrid seeds better suited to changing climatic conditions.
Beyond crops, the initiative extends to livestock and dairy farming. Pakistan's milk and meat sector remain largely under commercialized. This project aims to change that by introducing large-scale and tech-driven livestock farms.
"The main purpose of this project is to import animals that are high in milk and meat quantity to increase our milk and meat production at the national level," said Shamraiz Akram, a livestock manager.
With modern technologies, these farms aim to improve productivity while boosting local economies through job creation and supply chain development.
Food processing and distribution are also key components. With several economic zones under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor focusing on agri-processing, projects like this are strategically positioned to tap into larger markets.
