Gaza Health Ministry “187 deaths in one day… “Cumulative death toll: 21,507.”
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) troops are advancing into the center of the Gaza Strip, Palestine. Israeli shelling and airstrikes killed 187 Palestinians, the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry reported.
According to foreign media reports such as the Guardian, on the 29th (local time), Israeli tanks concentrated their attack on the center of the Gaza Strip with tanks at the forefront. The Israeli army, which has occupied most of the northern part of the Gaza Strip, is now carrying out a strong offensive in the central and southern areas.
The offensive expanded to the Khan Yunis area, where Hamas leaders are known to be hiding.
This appears to be in response to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant saying, “An attack to destroy Hamas is essential.”
As a result, tens of thousands of Palestinians fled to shelters that day. Gaza health authorities calculated that 187 people died in one day due to Israeli airstrikes and shelling. It added that the cumulative death toll reached 21,507, which is equivalent to 1% of the population of the Gaza Strip.
It is known that most of the 2.3 million people in the Gaza Strip have fled at least once due to Israeli military attacks. Many people are still on the evacuation route, and residents who do not have a suitable shelter are resting in makeshift tents or temporary rest areas spread out on tarpaulins on open ground.
Local residents are expressing strong dissatisfaction, saying that the Israeli military’s airstrikes destroyed their homes and buried sleeping families.
