Death toll of Palestinians rises to 3500 as Israel-Hamas war enters 13th day

Gaza (Web Desk): At least 3500 Palestinians have been martyred and 12000 injured in 12-day Israeli bombardment on Gaza Strip, while in West Bank, 62 have been martyred and over 1300 are injured.

Dozens were killed after Israeli aerial bombardments throughout the day struck several buildings in Khan Younis, Rafah and Deir el-Balah in southern Gaza, as the Israel-Hamas war enters 12th day. An Israeli attack killed six people in a United Nations-run school in al-Maghazi refugee camp in Deir el-Balah.

Hundreds of Palestinians took to the streets of the West Bank cities to protest against the air raid on al-Ahli Arab Hospital. Israeli forces kill at least five Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

Moreover, US President Joe Biden visited Israel on Wednesday, to show his support for Israel and urged restraint. He also announced $100 million in aid for humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Jordan and Egypt cancelled meeting with Biden, however, Biden praises Egypt’s el-Sisi for agreeing to open the Rafah crossing to allow 20 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

It should be noted that a humanitarian convoy for Gaza arrived at the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing after its departure from Egypt’s El Arish, however the border gate has remained closed.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah said it fired guided missiles towards Israeli tanks in Hanita, northern Israel.

On the other hand, the Israeli army said it received reports of a shooting inside an Israeli settlement in Metula.

The Israeli army also said it launched munitions towards southern Lebanon after anti-tank fire targeted one of its military posts near Margaliot.
