Gaza death toll rises to 296
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFifty-five Gazans are killed on Friday as Israel presses a major ground offensive in the coastal enclave, raising the overall Palestinian death toll since July 8 to 296, medics say.
The latest Palestinian deaths include three members of a family killed in an Israeli strike in southern Gaza’s Rafah, as well as a 21-year-old man also killed in Rafah, says Gaza emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra.
Shortly before, eight members of a single family — two men, two women and four children — are killed in tank shelling on their home in northern Gaza’s Beit Hanoun.
