Overnight Israeli air strikes on Gaza resulted in the tragic loss of more than 700 Palestinian lives, Palestinian officials reported. This marks the most devastating 24-hour death toll since Israel initiated its bombardment of the embattled territory earlier in the month.
On Tuesday, the Israeli military provided details on the operation, stating that they targeted over 400 sites associated with Hamas, the militant Palestinian group, resulting in the death of numerous Hamas combatants. The Israeli forces further emphasized that their primary objective is to dismantle the Hamas infrastructure and network, acknowledging that accomplishing this aim might take a considerable amount of time.
