Health officials in Gaza reported on Monday 24,100 deaths in the war with Israel which has rocked the region, and militants released a video announcing the death of two Israeli hostages.
The health ministry in Gaza reported more than 60 martyrs overnight, in what the group's media office described as "intense" Israeli bombardment.
AFPTV footage showed smoke billowing over Khan Yunis, southern Gaza's main city, as explosions could be heard from nearby Rafah on the territory's southern border with Egypt.
In central Israel, which has been largely spared the current violence, a suspected car ramming attack on Monday killed one woman and injured 17 other people, medics said, and police arrested two Palestinian suspects.

The video showed a woman hostage, speaking under duress, revealing that two men she was held captive with had been killed in captivity.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is under intense domestic pressure to return the hostages and account for political and security failings surrounding the October 7 attacks.

Attacks by the Houthis, who say they act in solidarity with Gaza, have disrupted shipping in the vital Red Sea maritime trade route, triggering strikes on scores of Houthi targets last Friday by US and British forces.
A missile struck a US-owned cargo ship off Yemen on Monday, a British security agency and maritime risk company said, a day after the Houthis fired a cruise missile at an American destroyer. US warplanes shot that missile down.
