An Israeli airstrike on Saturday night claimed at least 73 lives in the Gaza Strip, according to the civil defense of the small Palestinian enclave.

Four Israeli soldiers were killed and 51 wounded, including seven seriously, in a drone attack launched Sunday night by Hezbollah against a military base in Binyaminah in northern Israel, according to a statement from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

Gaza's civil defense agency reported Tuesday that an Israeli strike on a humanitarian zone in the south of the Palestinian territory resulted in the deaths of 40 people and injuries to 60 others. 

At least 93 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school and mosque in Gaza that was sheltering displaced Palestinians, according to local officials cited by CNN. The Gaza Civil Defense reported that the strike occurred during dawn prayers at the Al-Tabi'in compound in Gaza City's Al-Daraj neighborhood.

Palestinians fled the two refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip on Monday after the Israeli army issued new evacuation orders, with The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees saying that 86 percent of Gaza is currently under such orders.
