TEHRAN (defapress) – Israeli forces pounded central Gaza anew on Sunday, a day after martyring 274 Palestinians during an operation to free the Israeli captives, and tanks advanced into further areas of Rafah in a bid to seal off part of the southern city.
One of Palestinian medics declared that Palestinians remained in shock over Saturday's death toll, the worst over a 24-hour period of the Gaza war for months and including many women and children.
In an update on Sunday, Gaza's health ministry said 274 Palestinians were martyred- up from 210 it reported on Saturday - and 698 were injured when Israeli forces invaded the populated Al-Nuseirat camp to free 4 hostages but killed some other hostages simultaneously.
