Media sources in Gaza said the Israeli army carried out more than 150 air strikes, in addition to firing dozens of artillery shells against 220 civilian structures in the Gaza Strip, including residential buildings, mosques, stores, educational facilities, media agencies and workshops.
The soldiers also fired missiles targeting 22 agricultural lands and hothouses, near the al-Azhar University and the Islamic University, and caused serious damage to several schools.The number of apartment buildings that were targeted by Israeli missiles has arrived to seven, in several parts of the Gaza Strip, in addition to the al-Mustafa Mosque in the Shati’ refugee camp.
Furthermore, the army fired a missile at a motorcycle in the al-Falouja area, in northern Gaza, wounding two Palestinians, including one who suffered a life-threatening injury.
At least two Palestinians were also injured after the army fired missiles into an area east of Gaza city.
By the time of this report, at least fifty Palestinians, including children, have been injured by Israeli missiles and shells.
Palestinian resistance groups also fired many shells into several Israeli areas near the besieged Gaza Strip.
Israeli sources said one man, identified as Moshe Agadi, 58, was killed by shrapnel from a shell fired from Gaza.
