At least 28 people have been killed and dozens injured in the latest Israeli attacks overnight in Gaza, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported on Friday, citing medical sources.
Israeli soldiers are continuing operations against “terrorist organizations across the Gaza Strip,” the Israeli military wrote on its Telegram channel.
On Thursday, troops “eliminated several terrorists throughout the Gaza Strip and struck military compounds, weapons, storage facilities, and sniper posts,” it said.
The Israeli military said the air force had hit more than 75 targets, including “terrorists, launchers, military compounds, weapons storage facilities and additional terrorist infrastructure.”
The claims made by both sides cannot currently be independently verified.
The Gaza war was triggered by the devastating terrorist attack carried out by Hamas and other militias in Israel on October 7, 2023. Israel responded with a massive military operation in Gaza.
The Hamas-controlled health authority said the violence has claimed more than 53,000 Palestinian lives. The agency does not distinguish between civilian and militant casualties.
