Since Tuesday, Israel has murdered 710 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip with the number expected to still grow as bodies are still trapped underneath the rubble.

Spokesperson for Gaza Health Ministry, Khalil Al-Daqran estimated that about 900 Palestinians have been injured since the US-backed war machine’s pre-dawn attack on Tuesday. Many of those wounded in the assault have succumbed to their injuries due to doctors being unable to provide them with the necessary urgent medical care.

Gaza’s hospitals have also been battling with a shortage of basic equipment and medication. Al-Daqran added that about 70 percent of those injured are children and women with serious injuries.

According to Al Jazeera correspondent in Palestine, Hani Mahmoud, Israel’s attack patterns are designed to cause maximum casualties.

“The latest attacks are targeting families as they gather inside their temporary shelters. Mahmoud explains that one attack for example occurred as a family had their predawn meal before fasting. Homes in Beit Lahiya, Jabalia, Khan Younis, Rafah and other parts of the Gaza Strip are deliberately being targeting.” said Mahmoud.

He added that injured people have arrived at hospitals en masse.
