The Palestinian death toll from the Israeli airstrikes on various places across the Gaza Strip early Tuesday morning has risen to 413, the Gaza-based health authorities said.

In a press statement, the health authorities said that the ongoing Israeli attacks also injured at least 562 Palestinians.

The statement added that a number of victims are still trapped under the rubble and efforts are underway to retrieve them.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military and Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency said Tuesday afternoon that they were continuing to strike Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad targets across Gaza.

"At this time, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and Shin Bet are striking terror targets throughout the Gaza Strip," the military and Shin Bet said in a joint statement, adding that "the targets struck over the past few hours include terrorist cells, launch posts, weapons stockpiles, and additional military infrastructure."

Israel said it was resuming strikes because of Hamas' repeated refusals to release its hostages and its rejection of all offers it received from the U.S. presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and mediators.

Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire that took effect on Jan. 19 and called on mediators to pressure Israel to halt the military campaign.
