Israel: Gaza Strip death toll at 176 as Israeli strikes continue
Israeli war jets continued firing missiles at the Gaza Strip Monday on the seventh day of its relentless assault that has killed 176 Palestinians and injured nearly 1,300.
Israel said it shot down a drone from Gaza Monday, the first reported deployment of an unmanned aircraft by Palestinians, with Hamas saying it had sent several drones to carry out “special missions.”
Israeli aircraft and naval gunboats attacked 204 targets in the Gaza Strip overnight, the occupation forces said, with Gaza health officials saying at least 20 people were wounded in the attacks.
Palestinians fought back by sending more than 20 rockets into Israeli occupied territory, but caused no casualties.
