Israeli strikes kill 436 Palestinians overnight

Israeli forces killed at least 436 Palestinians, including 182 children, during overnight air strikes, with the vast majority of fatalities occurring south of the Gaza Strip. 

"The Israeli occupation committed 23 massacres in the past hours, claiming the lives of 436 martyrs, including 182 children, the majority of whom were from the south of the Gaza Strip," the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Monday morning. 

The Palestinian health ministry often uses the word "massacre" to refer to Israeli attacks that leave mass deaths of three people or more in a single air raid.
