  • 60 more Gazans killed in Israeli aggression

    At least 60 people have been killed in the latest Israeli strikes on the besieged Gaza Strip On Eid ul Fitr, as the number of Palestinian casualties continues to rise in the coastal enclave.

    The Israeli military pounded Gaza on Tuesday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called for the continuation of the military attacks on the Palestinian sliver.

    In the latest development, Israeli aircraft fired a missile at the house of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas, before dawn on Tuesday, causing damage but no casualties, according to Gaza authorities.

    Hamas said its broadcast outlets, Al-Aqsa TV and Al-Aqsa Radio were also targeted. The television station continued to broadcast, but the radio station could not.

    In a televised address on Monday night, Netanyahu said Israel needs “to be prepared for a protracted campaign.” Earlier on Monday, at least 10 people, mostly children, lost their lives in an Israeli strike on Shati refugee camp on the edge of Gaza City. Israeli forces also targeted al-Shifa Hospital in the city.

    Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri denounced the attack on the refugee camp as a “massacre.” Since July 8, Israeli warplanes have been pounding numerous sites in the Gaza Strip, demolishing houses and burying families in the rubble. Israeli tanks also began a ground offensive against the impoverished Palestinian land on July 17.

    More then 1,100 Palestinians have been killed so far in the Israeli attacks and nearly 6,500 others injured. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said in a report released on Sunday that 226 children have been killed and 1,949 others injured in the Israeli onslaught.
