The Ministry of Health, affiliated with the Hamas movement, announced today, Friday, that 178 Palestinians were killed and more than 500 were injured in Gaza as a result of Israeli bombing, after the end of the truce between the Hebrew state and the movement, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The ministry said: “The toll of the Israeli aggression, from this morning until now, has risen to 178 martyrs and 589 injuries. Most of them are children and women.”
The Israeli army announced on Friday that it had bombed “more than 200 targets” in Gaza since the end of the truce.
On Friday, the truce that stopped fighting between Israel and Hamas ended for seven days. Hostilities resumed immediately. Israeli forces bombed several areas in the besieged Gaza Strip, killing more than a hundred people, according to the Hamas government, while Palestinian factions fired rockets towards Israel.
