GAZA, (The Palestine Information Centre)As the Al-Aqsa Flood battle entered its third day on Monday, groups of Palestinian resistance fighters are still clashing with the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) behind the enemy lines, while more Palestinian citizens have been killed and injured in the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian medical sources said that many citizens were killed and wounded last night and on Monday morning in Israeli aerial and artillery attacks on different areas of Gaza.
The interior ministry in Gaza affirmed that a number of citizens were martyred and wounded in intense Israeli airstrikes on inhabited homes in Beit Hanoun, Rafah, Khan Yunis, and Tal al-Hawa in Gaza City.
Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army said in the morning that there were ongoing armed clashes with Palestinian gunmen in different sites in Israeli towns around Gaza.
On Sunday evening, the health ministry said that the death toll from Israeli attacks on Gaza climbed to 413 martyrs, while over 2,300 citizens were injured.
The number of casualties is likely to rise as the Israeli army continues to bombard the densely populated coastal enclave.
The Israeli army claimed that its warplanes bombed over 500 strategic targets in Gaza, but Palestinian officials refuted such Israeli allegations, saying that Israeli aircraft only target civilian buildings, including homes and mosques.
21 Palestinian civilians from the same family were reportedly killed last night when an Israeli warplane bombed their home in Rafah, south of Gaza.
Warplanes also targeted other civilian homes and buildings in different areas of Gaza during nighttime, dawn, and morning raids.
