WASHINGTON DC, 24th Feb.  According to Gaza authorities on Friday the death toll pf Palestinians has risen to 29,410, with 69,465 others wounded since the Israel-Hamas war broke out.

Palestinian Health Ministry said that the Israeli army killed 97 Palestinians and wounded 132 others during the past 24 hours, noted that some victims remain under the rubble amid heavy bombardment and a lack of civil defense and ambulance crews.

Some 20 Palestinians, including children, were killed when an aircraft bombed a number of homes in the Al-Sabra and Al-Zaytoun neighborhoods in Gaza City.

The sources said that artillery shells were fired towards residential homes in the Al-Rimal neighborhood, west of Gaza, resulted in casualties among the residents.

Warplanes launched three raids on the border area in the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, targeted homes without causing casualties.

Israel launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip to retaliate against a Hamas rampage through the southern Israeli border on October 7, 2023.
