Bloody Gaza attacks continue: around 100 dead
About 100 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks, which the Palestinian side calls pure massacres, in the past 24 hours. This is stated by the Hamastrogna Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip according to the Turkish news agency Anatolia.
Also last Friday, over 100 Palestinians were said to have lost their lives in Israeli attacks. Such bloody daily figures have been common since a month or so ago, when Israeli forces, in addition to airstrikes, also went on a ground offensive in the northern Gaza Strip.
According to Israel, the attacks are aimed at militiamen who are planning acts of war against Israelis.
The Palestinian sources, who are loyal to the terror-branded Hamas movement, make no distinction between combatants and innocent civilians in the statistics of casualties. But witnesses have told news agencies that entire families are often killed when residential neighborhoods are bombed.
