ANKARA (AA) – Recent Israeli attacks on Gaza City have killed three more Palestinians, the Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.
With the new fatalities, the death toll from the ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has risen to 72, including 17 children and six women.
A total of 388 people were injured.
Tensions have been running high since an Israeli court last week ordered the eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem.
Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and annexed the entire city in 1980, in a move that has never been recognized by the international community.
