Baku-APA. Israeli aerial raids on the Hamas- ruled Gaza Strip on Monday evening were renewed, as medics said the death toll since Wednesday has climbed to 104 Palestinians, APA reports quoting Xinhua.

Medics said that in the early evening of Monday, four Palestinians were killed, including two who were struck by an Israeli missile in Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza Strip.

Hamas-run ministry of health spokesman Ashraf al-Qedra told reporters that the death of the two elevated the number of the Palestinians killed on Monday to 28, and 104 killed since Wednesday.

Around 800 Palestinians were wounded by the intensive airstrikes on the coastal enclave since Israel had assassinated Hamas' armed wing general commander Ahmed al-Jaabari, he said.

He pointed out that half of the killed since Wednesday are civilian women, children and the elderly, and that among the wounded, some 200 are children.
