The Deadly Israeli Assault on Gaza:
A whopping 52,495 Palestinians have met a brutal end since Israel's genocidal war began in October 2023, according to reports by Anadolu. The Health Ministry's statement reveals that 77 folks lost their lives in Isaeli attacks in the past 48 hours, while 275 others were left injured. This brings the total number of injured Palestinians in Israel's onslaught to a staggering 118,366.
The ministry, in its statement, noted that many victims are still entombed under rubble and blocked roads, as rescuers struggle to reach them.
The Israeli army kicked off its assaults on Gaza Strip in March 2023 and has since caused the death of 2,396 Palestinians and injured 6,325 others. This brutal offensive shattered a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that was established in January.
