Palestinian death toll from Israeli attacks rises to 704

The number of martyrs from the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank topped 704, including 140 children and 105 women, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said on Monday evening.

Over 3,800 others have been wounded in the attacks, according to a statement from the Ministry.

Israeli warplanes intensified shelling on the Gaza Strip this evening, targeting citizens’ homes and turning them into rubble.

Ambulance and civil defense crews are facing difficulties to reach the victims under the debris due to the intensified bombing and limited capabilities.

Meanwhile, 900 settlers and Israeli soldiers have been killed, Israel’s media quoted the ministry of health as saying.

Moreover, Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu said in a press statement that his forces are working to ‘liquidate the militants’ who reached the settlements.

He indicated that the forces would intensify unprecedented attacks on Hamas, noting that he will work to fortify the rest of the other fronts of his forces.
