The balance sheet is getting heavier in Israel’s ongoing attacks on the Gaza Strip. While the death toll increased to 44 in the attacks carried out since 5 August, it was announced that 15 of them were children.
Israel continued its attacks in the Gaza Strip yesterday. On the third day of Israel’s attacks, which also targeted civilian settlements, the bloody balance sheet rose to 44. It was reported that 15 of the dead were children and 4 were women. It was reported that 360 people were injured. Known as the military arm of the Islamic Jihad Organization, the Quds Brigades noted that one of the most prominent leaders of the organization, Khalid Mansur, was among the dead.
In parallel with the operations that Israel called “Breaking Dawn”, fanatical Jews raided the Masjid al-Aqsa in occupied Jerusalem. Fanatic Jews, under the auspices of the Israeli police, attacked Palestinians and members of the press on the day of mourning, which they called ‘Tisha BeAv’ and celebrated the anniversary of the destruction of the Temple of Solomon. During the ceremony, Palestinians were restricted from entering the Masjid al-Aqsa, while 2 people were detained.
ATTRACTION STARTED
After the attacks between Israel and Palestine that continued for 3 days, a ceasefire was declared between the parties at 23.30 last night with the initiative of Egypt.
“We strongly condemn Israel’s attacks on civilians and the attempts to worship in Masjid al-Aqsa,” the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. In the statement, a call was made to the Israeli Government not to allow actions targeting the status and spirituality of the Haram.
“OPERATIONS WILL CONTINUE” MESSAGE
“The operation will continue as long as necessary,” said Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid. Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said, “Our security forces will continue to fight against the Islamic Jihad until peace is restored.” On the other hand, it was claimed that Israel and Palestine agreed on a ceasefire under the mediation of Egypt.
