At least 11 dead in overnight strikes — Hamas
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAt least 11 Palestinians are dead and dozens are injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip last night, Hamas says.
According to the organization, this brings the total Gazan death toll from Israel’s Operation Protective Edge to 2,018.
Israel disputes the Hamas figures, and says many of the dead are armed fighters engaged in combat, as well as civilians deliberately used as human shields to deter Israel from striking terrorist sites.
