New Israeli air strikes on Gaza martyred three Palestinians on Monday morning, raising the toll of the three days of Israeli aggression to 23 martyrs.

Since midnight, the occupation air force has carried out at least eight air strikes, leaving three dead and 41 wounded, Palestinian medical sources said.

Suleiman Abu Mutlaq, 24, was killed in a raid east of Khan Yunis, while the 24-year-old Raafat Jawad Abu Eid was killed when a strike hit his motorbike south of the town, medical sources said. The second strike left two people injured, they added.

And shortly afterwards, a 15-year-old boy was killed and six other school children injured in what medics said was another air strike near the northern town of Beit Lahiya. 

The Israeli army did not immediately confirm the strikes, but earlier on Monday morning said it had targeted six separate sites in raids that the Palestinians said left at least 38 people injured.Israeli warplanes

An Israeli spokeswoman claimed the raids "targeted a weapons storage facility and four rocket launching sites in the northern Gaza Strip, as well as a rocket launching site in the southern Gaza Strip."
  
Monday’s attacks were the latest in a round of Israeli violence with the Zionist entity killing of a senior resistance fighter on Friday.
  
The Palestinian resistance retaliated with Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld confirming on Monday morning that 11 rockets had been fired into the occupied Palestinian territories overnight, one of which caused damage to a building in a kibbutz. He said 50 rockets were fired into the southern occupied territories on Sunday.
  
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned raids would continue "as long as necessary" and Hamas officials said efforts to broker a ceasefire through Egypt were not bearing fruit.
