According to the statement from the Gaza Ministry of Health, another Palestinian lost his life in the attacks carried out by the Israeli army in Gaza.

With the death of the anonymous Palestinian, the number of people who lost their lives in the attacks that occurred in the last 3 days rose to 29, while the number of injured exceeded 90.

In the images shared by the Israeli army, it was reflected before the cameras that the places near residential areas were hit in the airstrikes.

800 rockets and mortar shells fired in the last 3 days

Meanwhile, a series of rockets were fired at Israel from Gaza under attack.

In addition to Jewish settlements around the Gaza Strip, attack alarms sounded in cities including Askalan (Ashkelon), Usdud (Ashdod), Bat Yam and Holon, near the capital Tel Aviv.

It was shared on social media that the rockets hit some points in Sderot and Askalan and damage was done.

On the other hand, the Israeli military shared that approximately 800 rockets and mortar shells have been fired from Gaza so far, 620 of them crossed the Gaza Strip and air defense systems stopped 179 rockets.

The army also announced that it had attacked 191 points inside Gaza that it claimed belonged to Islamic Jihad.

Ceasefire talks between Israeli and Palestinian groups have yet to yield results.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On Tuesday, May 9, the Israeli army launched an attack on besieged Gaza, claiming it was targeting the leaders of the Islamic Jihad Movement.

Among those killed in Israel’s attacks on Gaza in the past three days were five high-ranking members of Islamic Jihad, as Palestinian groups responded by firing hundreds of rockets and mortar shells from Gaza into Israel.

Tensions in the region rose when Palestinian prisoner Hıdır Adnan died on May 2, after an 87-day hunger strike against Israel’s “administrative detention” in prison without trial. Israel had refused to release Adnan’s body to his family. (AA)
