An Israeli airstrike killed seven people late Monday at a cafe near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, Palestinian medics said, bringing the death toll from Israeli strikes to at least 37, Reuters reports.

“Some people couldn’t leave and remained trapped inside their homes, appealing to be allowed out, while others rushed out with whatever they could carry as they fled,” Mohammad, 25, who lives one kilometre (half a mile) away from the targeted area, told Reuters via a chat app.

At Kamal Adwan Hospital near Beit Lahiya, medics said Israeli fire from a drone wounded three medical workers in the facility.
