“More than 60 witnesses were killed in the raids” between Sunday night and Monday, according to the Hamas press office.
According to the same, one of the strikes killed 17 people in a house in Jambaliya, in the northern part of the Gaza Stripwhile another 25 people were killed in the raids in the central sector of the Gaza Strip.
The Health Ministry of Hamas also confirmed that “at least ten bodies were recovered from the ruins”, after a raid that destroyed a house in Deir al-Balah, in the central part, this morning, as reported by Agence France-Presse and relayed by Athenian Agency.
According to the Hamas government’s overall tally released yesterday, before these new strikes, more than 4,600 people, the vast majority of them civilians, including nearly 1,900 children, have lost their lives since the war began in the small Palestinian enclave.
On Saturday, the Israeli military announced that the strikes would intensify. Today it announced that it had hit “more than 320 military targets” overnight, infrastructure of Hamas, which is in power in the Gaza Strip, and its allied Islamic Jihad group.
The Israeli military referred to “tunnels where Hamas terrorists were located”, “dozens of operational command centers, where sometimes” men of Hamas and its ally Islamic Jihad were hiding, “camps and observation posts”.
