The figures for this war are reaching dizzying heights. The Israeli army said Thursday it had killed more than 2,000 Palestinian fighters since December 1, the end of a week-long truce in the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. In the last 24 hours, its aircraft have also struck 230 targets in the Palestinian enclave.
“Since the end of the truce, our forces have eliminated more than 2,000 terrorists by air, land and sea,” army spokesperson Daniel Hagari said at a press conference. According to the Hamas government in power in Gaza, 20,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli army since the start of the war on October 7. Despite these figures, the military wing of Hamas affirmed that the objective set by Israel to eliminate the movement was “doomed to failure” and conditioned the release of the hostages on the “stopping of Israeli aggression” in Gaza. .
According to the Hamas government, Israeli planes struck the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom (Karam Abu Salem, in Arabic) crossing point between Israel and Gaza, killing four people, including its director Bassem Ghaben. The terrorist group’s Health Ministry announced that the ministry’s director general, Mounir al-Barch, was injured and his daughter killed in an Israeli bombing in Jabaliya (north).
After a two-day break, Palestinian militiamen fired around thirty rockets from Gaza towards Israel, where warning sirens sounded in several localities in the south and in Tel Aviv in the center, according to the media. The shots caused damage but no casualties.
