Gaza's death toll hits 1035
World |
Three Palestinians on early Monday succumbed to injuries they sustained days ago in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qodra told AA.
The Palestinian death toll from Israel's ongoing devastating military offensive in the blockaded Gaza Strip rose to 1035 on Monday, a Health Ministry official said.
A fourth Palestinian was killed in an Israeli shelling of eastern Khan Younis in the south, he added.
He added that at least 6233 Gazans had been injured since the beginning of the Israeli onslaught on July 7, which Israel said aims at halting rocket fire emanating from the blockaded strip.
Israel's military operation, dubbed operation "Protective Edge," is the self-proclaimed Jewish state's third major offensive against the densely-populate Gaza Strip which is home to some 1.8 million Palestinians within the last six years.
On Saturday, rescue workers managed during a 12-hour humanitarian lull to recover the bodies of 117 Palestinians, including children and women, from the rubble of homes devastated by Israeli strikes on the eastern and southern parts of Gaza.
Apart from the human toll, Israel also destroyed 2330 Gaza housing units and partially destroyed 23,160 other apartment blocks, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Works and Housing.
Around 43 Israeli troops were also killed in Gaza combat, while three civilians were killed by Gaza rocket attacks on Israeli cities.
--- 2330 Gaza housing units destroyed by Israel: Minister
An ongoing Israeli onslaught against the Gaza Strip has completely destroyed 2330 housing units in the embattled coastal enclave and damaged hundreds of others, a Palestinian cabinet minister said Monday.
"Some 2330 housing units have been destroyed and 23160 others partially damaged by Israel's military operation in Gaza, of which 2080 are uninhabitable," Public Works and Housing Minister Mufeed al-Hassayna told Anadolu Agency.
The tally is preliminary as some of the enclaves areas are still inaccessible for the ministrys teams due to the intensity of the Israeli shelling, he added.
Israel has been pounding the Gaza Strip - which has been reeling under a crippling Israeli blockade since 2006 - from air, ground and sea since July 7, leaving 1034 dead and 6233 injured and destroying hundreds of homes.
