The Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip confirms that one Palestinian was killed in an Israeli airstrike on central Gaza earlier tonight, raising the death toll since the beginning of Israel’s campaign against the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group to 30.
The figure includes both terrorists targeted by Israel and civilians, as well as civilians believed killed by Islamic Jihad rocket misfires, according to Israeli officials.
At least 12 of the fatalities are confirmed to be members of terror groups, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and the smaller Mujahideen Brigades.
