JERUSALEM – The number of Palestinians killed in Gaza in the Israeli attacks that began last October has exceeded 25,000. From Jabalia in northern Gaza to the southern city of Khan Younis, heavy bombardment and shelling have resulted in bloodshed. Even as Israel claims to have driven Hamas out of northern Gaza, heavy clashes are taking place centered on the Jabalia refugee camp in the region. During the Israeli attack, 178 people were killed in 24 hours. The Gaza Ministry of Health reported that a total of 25,105 Palestinians were killed. 62681 people were injured.

Israel claims to have killed 9,000 Hamas fighters in Gaza so far. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated that the attack on Gaza will continue until Hamas is eliminated and the hostages released. 2 Hezbollah members were killed in an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon.

Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said in a CNN interview that relations with Israel cannot be normalized without resolving the Palestinian issue. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Israel’s attack is killing civilians and causing widespread damage in Gaza. ‘The deaths of Palestinian citizens are heartbreaking’.

France has said that around 1,000 people wounded in the Gaza war have been treated on a warship in Egypt’s port. The French ship, which is anchored in the port of Al Arish, 50 kilometers from the Gaza Strip, has operation theaters, wards and 70 medical personnel. At present 120 people are under treatment.
