Over 400 people have been killed over the past 24 hours as a result of Israeli shelling and bombing in the Palestinian Gaza Strip. Such data were provided on October 14 by the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
“More than 400 people became victims of attacks by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip during the day, and about 1.5 thousand were injured,” the department said in a statement.
Previously, it was reported that the total number of Palestinians killed as a result of attacks on the Gaza Strip reached 2.2 thousand people, and another 8.7 thousand were injured.
Earlier that day, Palestinian Ambassador to the Russian Federation Abdel Hafiz Nofal said that the population of the Gaza Strip was not going to leave the enclave. He also clarified that Israel does not allow humanitarian aid from Jordan, Egypt, the UAE, Turkey and Qatar to enter Gaza.
The day before it became known that Israel informed the UN of the need to evacuate 1.1 million Palestinians to the south of the Gaza Strip within 24 hours. In turn, Hamas called on residents not to do this. Following this, on October 14, Israel extended the evacuation period in the Gaza Strip by six hours.
According to the latest data, as a result of the conflict, the number of Israeli casualties has increased to 1.3 thousand people, and another 3.3 thousand were injured.
The Palestinian Hamas movement fired at Israel on the morning of October 7. Militants have invaded border areas in the south of the country. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant ordered the call up of reservists for military service. In addition, the Israeli side began to strike targets in the Gaza Strip in response to enemy actions. Later, Galant announced the war unleashed by Palestinian militants and announced the start of Operation Iron Swords.
Palestinians are seeking to return the border between the two countries to the lines that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War. Palestine wants to create its own state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and make East Jerusalem its capital. Israel refuses to return to the 1967 borders and divide Jerusalem.
