You can use something like fail2ban for this. These are very common, do not be worried. Just install this thing on top of apache and it's gonna save you alot of bandwidth.

Cheers.

The first attempt (?a=fetch&content=die(@md5(HelloThinkCMF))) is an old WordPress exploit. If you are running WordPress and haven't updated it in years, do so. Otherwise, that won't do anything.

The second one (?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=phpstorm) is an attempt to start a debugging session if you have PhpStorm installed on your site.

The third one (s=/Index/\think\app/invokefunction&function=call_user_func_array&var) is an exploit of ThinkPHP that was patched in 2018.
