Another Morning Of Israel's Aggression - Death Toll 83

Another Morning Of Israel's Aggression Brings Death Toll To 83 Victims

The early hours of Monday morning have seen the death and injury of more Palestinian civilians in Israeli aerial attacks on the Gaza Strip bringing the death toll to 83 victims.

The number of the Palestinians wounded has also risen to 710 this morning in Israeli deadly air raids on civilian populated areas in Gaza.

At about 06:15 am in Gaza, a little girl named Rama Ashendi was killed after the house of her family was bombed in Azzeitoun neighborhood east of Gaza.

Four other civilians including a child, two women and a young man were killed and more than 35 others, mostly children, were wounded in an Israeli air raid on their house in the same neighborhood.

Seven of these children, from the family of Azzam, sustained serious injuries.

A civilian working as a vegetable vendor named Abdulrahman Attar was also killed in an Israeli aerial attack on Salatin area north of Gaza.

In this regard, member of Hamas's political bureau Ezzat Al-Resheq said that Egypt in cooperation with some Islamic and Arab countries are making efforts to broker a truce ending Israel's military aggression against Gaza.

Resheq told Quds Press on Sunday that any truce with the Israeli occupation regime should be in accordance with the terms set by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza in order to ensure an end to the spate of assassinations and the economic blockade.

The Hamas official also said that the Israeli regime suffer from a crippling military and political crisis after the Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu discovered that his war was not a picnic or a short stroll as he had thought.

He added that Netanyahu thought his war would raise his popularity and thus his chances of winning the elections, but his political future has become at stake because of the surprising and strong resistance response.
