According to the ministry, half of the casualties are children, underlining the devastating impact on innocent civilians.
The escalation in violence began when Hamas and the Islamic Jihad, both Gaza-based resistance movements, launched a significant operation named Operation Al-Aqsa Storm in response to intensified israeli aggression against the Palestinian population. This conflict has resulted in a relentless back-and-forth between the two sides.
Zionist authorities have indicated the possibility of a ground invasion into the coastal territory, heightening concerns about further escalation and loss of life in the region. (ILKHA)
