Israeli airstrikes killed at least 16 Palestinians in Gaza on Monday and residents feared new air and ground attacks were aimed at emptying areas of civilians in the enclave's north.

In the latest bloodshed, several people were killed or wounded in a strike on northern Gaza's Beit Lahiya late on Monday, medics said, the same town where seven people were killed in an attack on two houses earlier in the day.
