At least 493 Palestinians had been killed in Israeli bombardments on the blockaded enclave since Saturday, according to a ministry death toll published earlier on Monday.
Israeli fighter jets also staged several airstrikes in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, the Interior Ministry run by the Palestinian group Hamas said in a statement.
The Israeli army said its aircraft continued to pound the Gaza Strip in order to “devastate the capabilities” of Hamas.
A military statement said several command posts were destroyed in the attacks, including an “operational asset used by Hamas” located in a mosque in Jabaliya.
