The spokesman for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf Al Qedra, updated the number of people who perished in the attacks by land, sea or air of the Israeli military, two thirds of them civilians. Among the 609 victims, said Al Qedra "154 children, 58 women and 38 elderly include".
In the last hours, four women, one of them pregnant, and five others died in separate bombings on Gaza City and the north and south of the territory. "Two of the women were sisters, 50 and 70, who were killed in an Israeli raid on the Zeitun neighborhood south of Gaza, where five people were injured," the spokesman said.
The pregnant woman died, as the baby waiting, along with two young men in an attack on a house in the southern town of Rafah. The Health Ministry also said in a statement that since the start of the offensive, Israel attacked 25 medical centers and hospitals.
The latter was the Al Aqsa hospital in Deir Al Balah, in the central region, which was yesterday under fire from Israeli artillery fire that left four people dead and thirty wounded. The Palestinian Ministry of Religious Affairs also claimed in a statement that about fifty mosques have been completely or partially destroyed throughout Gaza.
Today, the Israeli army bombed a school in the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in downtown Gaza, where they had sought shelter near a thousand people. However, there were no victims since the director of this institution, which serves as a shelter, had ordered the eviction hours before due to the security situation in the field presence of Israeli troops. In the last two weeks have also killed two civilians and 27 Israeli soldiers and over a hundred injured, in a military operation to end the offensive capability of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.
