Israel's deadly strikes continue in the Gaza Strip, targeting the likes of Khan Younis, Gaza City, Rafah and Nuseirat.

The health ministry in Gaza said on Monday that 58 people had been killed in the Palestinian territory in the past 24 hours, taking the overall war death toll to 45,317.

The ministry also said in a statement that at least 107,713 people have been wounded in more than 14 months of war waged by Israel.

Attacks have taken place across the Palestinian territory, notably Khan Younis, Rafah, Gaza City and the Nuseirat camp.

Overnight, an attack reportedly took place on a so-called safe zone in Al-Mawasi, where scores of Palestinians had sought shelter.

Israel also targeted the Nuseirat refugee camp on the same day. According to Al Jazeera, Israeli quadcopters and forces in armoured vehicles surrounded a school-turned-shelter in the area, shooting at it. 

Meanwhile in Syria, the leader of its interim government, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, met with Jordanian foreign minister Ayman Safadi, one day after holding talks with Turkey's top diplomat, Hakan Fidan.

Al-Sharaa also met with a Qatari and Saudi delegation, where he stressed Doha's desire to invest in Syria's varying sectors.
