On the fifth day of Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood”, the toll of Israeli casualties continued to rise, reaching 1,200 dead and more than 3,000 injured, according to official Israeli media.
A Heavy Tribute
Israeli television reported early Wednesday that the death toll had reached 1,200, while the number of injured exceeded 3,000. There are fears that these figures will only increase as the fighting continues and the More bodies are being discovered in Israeli settlements located in the so-called “Gaza area”.
On Tuesday evening, the “Yediot Aharonot” newspaper, a Hebrew publication, cited unnamed Tel Aviv officials as saying that the number of Israeli casualties exceeds 1,200. Additionally, it was reported that more than 200 Hamas prisoners are currently in captivity in the Gaza Strip.
New Military Operations
The occupying army has intensified its strikes in many areas of the Gaza Strip, where more than two million Palestinians live in difficult conditions due to the Israeli blockade which has lasted since 2006. At the same time, the army launched Operation “Swords of Steel”, which indicates an escalation of the ongoing conflict.
Appeals to Reason
The current situation in Palestine continues to cause international concern. Calls for an immediate ceasefire and peaceful dialogue are increasing, while the death toll continues to rise. The search for a peaceful solution remains imperative to end this destructive cycle.
