38 Palestinians killed during the reporting period, including 11 children and six women.
The total number of victims now stands at 712, including 169 children, 46 women, six medical personnel and one Palestinian journalist.
As the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) continue their indiscriminate attacks in the Gaza Strip for the thirteenth consecutive day, the number of Palestinian civilian deaths continues to rise amidst massive destruction of buildings and property.
Investigations conducted by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) indicate that more than 90% of the Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip in the last three days have been unarmed civilians, including a large number of children. Israel continues to show no mercy in its military campaign, intent on destroying entire areas populated by civilians. Witnesses on the ground have confirmed that IOF are targeting civilians, including medical personnel. The entire Gaza Strip is now under IOF bombardment, and IOF are targeting schools run by the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), as well as mosques and hospitals. During the last twenty four hours, three sisters were killed in Abed Rabbo in east Jabalia, and a father, his 3 sons and their cousin were all killed whilst driving in a car in Beit Lahia.
PCHR are investigating, and documenting, Israeli war crimes being committed against the population of the Gaza Strip throughout this military operation. This is a summary of the crimes committed by IOF in the Gaza Strip during the last 24 hours.
