GAZA CITY, JERUSALEM / Palestine, ANKARA (AA) – The Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip in response to a Hamas offensive killed at least 373 Palestinians, the territory’s Health Ministry said on Sunday.
In a written statement, the ministry said 1,990 Palestinians were also wounded in the ongoing conflict.
Meanwhile, a total of 1,864 Israelis have been injured so far in the ongoing military escalation with Palestinian groups in Gaza, including some 345 people being in critical condition, the Israeli Health Ministry said in a statement.
At least 600 Israelis were killed, Israeli Channel 12 reported on Sunday.
In a written statement, the Israeli army announced that Israelis living in Jewish settlements on the Gaza Strip border are being evacuated. It claimed that the army has regained control of most areas.
“We managed to regain control of most of the areas under attack. Clashes are underway in the Be’eri settlement,” the army said.
Hamas launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Saturday and said the surprise attack was in response to the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and increased settler violence. It said it fired rockets and captured many Israelis.
In turn, the Israeli army initiated Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
