The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry reports 119 killed since the start of the recent hostilities between Israel and the terror group.

27 of those killed were minors, the Health Ministry says. Another 600 Gazans were wounded, according to health authorities.

Israel says most of the casualties are members of terror groups or, in some cases, victims of errant rocket fire by Hamas that landed inside the Strip.
