Over 2060 rockets fired at Israel from Gaza: Israel

"With the increased range of Hamas rockets, some 6 million Israelis are currently living under the threat of rocket attacks. As part of the operation, Israel forces uncovered over 23 Gaza tunnels intended for the launch of terror attack on Israel. These tunnels function as important lifelines for the civilian population of Gaza. Over the past 24 hours, the IDF conducted a terror-eliminating mission in Shuja'iya, a neighbourhood renowned for its high concentration of terrorist activities," the Embassy of Israel in New Delhi said in a statement on Tuesday.

 

PM Netanyahu said: "We opened a humanitarian field hospital on the edge of Gaza and Hamas doesn't let the people come there. They're hiding rockets in hospitals; they're hiding arms in hospitals; they're shooting from hospitals. So they just don't care." 

 

He added, "The international community should insist that any future agreement include a demilitarization of Gaza. Instead of being demilitarized under previous agreements, Gaza became an Iranian-financed and equipped fortress of terror."

 

In the conflict, 29 Israelis have died so far.

 

The over all death toll in Israel-Palestine conflict crossed 600 with heavy casualty on the Palestine side.
