Things also remained restless in Israel and the Palestinian areas at night. In retaliation for Hamas’s attacks on Israel, the country carried out several attacks on targets in the Gaza Strip. These also continued last night, Al Jazeera reports. Targets included a densely populated neighborhood in Gaza City and the city of Rafah.
Rockets were also fired from the Palestinian side. A woman was seriously injured in a rocket attack in the Israeli city of Ashkelon, north of the Gaza Strip. A rocket also landed in Sderot, which is also near the Gaza Strip.
In addition, skirmishes continue to be reported between members of Hamas and the Israeli army in some places in Israel. According to Prime Minister Netanyahu, there are now virtually no Hamas fighters left in the country. He warned that his country “is facing a long and exhausting war.”
‘More than 300 dead’
Meanwhile, the death toll from yesterday’s massive Hamas attack on Israel continues to rise. Israeli media now report 300 deaths. At least 1,590 people have also been injured, many of whom are in serious condition. Retaliatory attacks by the Israeli army have so far left 232 dead and 1,700 injured, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reports.
Netanyahu announced even more measures last night after the Hamas attack on his country. As previously announced by the Minister of Energy, Israel has also stopped the supply of electricity to the Gaza Strip. According to the Reuters news agency, a large part of the area was completely plunged into darkness last night because of the measure. The Gaza Strip is highly dependent on Israel for the supply of electricity. In addition, fuel and goods are no longer allowed into the area. Netanyahu did not say until when the measure will apply.
