Israel has killed more than 21,500 Palestinian children and targeted 1,244 of Gaza's 1,275 mosques since the start of the genocidal war in October 2023, the enclave's Government Media Office said.

The office said the Israeli military had systematically targeted civilians, homes, and places of worship during Israel's genocide in Gaza, noting that 1,077 of the mosques were completely destroyed.

The office condemned the continued targeting of civilians, children, and religious sites, urging international mediators to pressure Israel to halt its ceasefire violations and fully abide by the agreement.

The statement came amid renewed Israeli threats to escalate attacks on the enclave.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Israel Katz threatened on Sunday to step up assassinations and evacuate residential neighbourhoods over kites reaching Israeli areas from Gaza.

The warning came despite the Israeli army stating on Saturday that four kites recovered near Gaza contained no suspicious materials and posed no danger to the public.

Overall, the Israeli military has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and injured over 174,000 others in its brutal genocide since October 2023.
