Death toll hit 1,100 in Gaza Strip

The death toll rose to 1,000 from ongoing Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, the Palestine Health Ministry said, writes aa.com.tr.

It said at least 5,339 people were also injured in the bombardment and 60% of the injuries have affected women and children.

Israeli forces launched a sustained and forceful military campaign against the Gaza Strip in response to a military offensive by the Palestinian group Hamas in Israeli territories.

The conflict began when Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood - a multi-pronged surprise attack including a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel via land, sea, and air.

The Israeli military launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets within the Gaza Strip in response. Israeli figures showed that at least 1,200 Israelis were killed in the Hamas attack.
