Israel conducts new strikes against Gaza Strip

The Israeli army has carried out new airstrikes on the Gaza Strip as the Tel Aviv regime’s military offensive against the Palestinians in the besieged coastal sliver continues unabated.

According to Palestinian sources, the aerial attacks were carried out in the early hours of Sunday. Pictures coming out of the Palestinian enclave show smoke rising from the buildings that have been pounded. There were no immediate reports of casualties.

The strikes come as emergency services in Gaza said nine people, including a child, were killed in Israeli assaults on the Gaza Strip on Saturday.

The Palestinian Interior Ministry reported that the Israeli military carried out 50 airstrikes, destroying three more mosques on Saturday.

The Israeli war on the Gaza Strip began on July 8. According to Palestinian health officials, the overall Palestinian death toll from the brutal Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has reached 1,917, with most of the fatalities being civilians. Nearly 10,000 others have been wounded in the attacks.

Latest tallies show that at least 450 Palestinian children have so far lost their lives in the Israeli attacks against the impoverished Gaza Strip. Children also make up almost one-third of the injured.

UN estimates show the Israeli raids have destroyed more than 10,000 houses and left some 65,000 people homeless in the densely-populated Palestinian territory.

On Saturday, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said the Tel Aviv regime should be brought before the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the atrocities it has committed against Gazans.
