Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry says 48 Palestinians killed since Monday
The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry reports that 48 Palestinians have been killed, including 14 children, since the beginning of hostilities with Israel on Monday.
Some 304 Gazans have been wounded, the Ministry says.
Israeli forces have been striking numerous targets across the Strip, Gaza-based Palestinian media reports.
Across the coastal enclave, Palestinian social media records several strikes on houses in Beit Lahiya in the north and in Gaza City’s Shejaiya District.
Both attacks reportedly led to casualties, although the Hamas Health Ministry has yet to confirm the matter. Many of the airstrikes appear to be in residential areas.
