Middle East - Hamas: Hundreds killed in new Israeli attacks
According to Palestinian reports, hundreds of people have been killed in new Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip. A spokesperson for the Hamas authority announced that around 700 people had been killed in attacks throughout the Gaza Strip within 24 hours. The figures cannot be independently verified at present.
The spokesman reported numerous bodies under rubble. There were also great difficulties in rescuing the injured and transporting them to hospitals. No place in the Gaza Strip is currently safe.
An Israeli army spokesman had called in Arabic on the inhabitants of certain residential areas in the south of the Gaza Strip to leave them and flee to other designated areas. Following the end of a ceasefire, the Israeli air force once again intensified its bombardment of targets in the north and south of the densely populated coastal strip.
The war was triggered by the worst massacre in Israel's history, carried out by terrorists from the Islamist Hamas and other extremist groups on October 7 in Israel near the border with the Gaza Strip. More than 1200 people were killed on the Israeli side, most of them civilians.
As a result,Israel has set itself the goal of ending the rule of the terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip and eliminating its military capabilities. According to the Hamas health authority, well over 15,000 people have already been killed in the attacks, many of them civilians.
