16 Israeli Soldiers Killed in Fresh Gaza Conflict
According to AFP, Israeli army admitted that sixteen Israeli army personnel have been killed in Gaza war since Tuesday. AFP reported that 331 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the October 7 in Gaza war.
Israeli army has been carrying out the ground offensive in Gaza since Friday, backed by heavy artillery, air strikes which have killed more than 8,796 Palestinian people since Israel launched brutal air strikes on October 7. Among the casualties are 3,648 children, and 22,219 people have been injured, according to the health ministry. The Israeli attacks have also resulted in the loss of 132 medics and the destruction of 25 ambulances, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
The situation in Gaza remained distressed, with fuel, food, and medicine for the 2.4 million residents all running short, aid groups said. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Wednesday strongly condemned the continued Israeli massacre and war crimes, especially the carnage in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp carried out by the Israeli occupation forces, destroying a residential district and killing hundreds of innocent Palestinian civilians.
The United Nations (UN) also denounced strikes on Gaza’s largest refugee camp that martyred scores of innocent Palestinian civilians. The UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths said that this is just the latest atrocity to befall the people of Gaza, where the war has entered an even more terrifying phase, with increasingly dreadful humanitarian consequences, AFP news agency reported.
