BEIRUT, December 20. /TASS/. At least 10 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip over the past day as a result of Israel’s military actions, the Palestinian enclave’s Health Ministry said on its Telegram channel.

According to the report, "hundreds" were injured. Military operations took place in all areas of Gaza "without exception."

Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7 after militants from the Gaza Strip-based radical Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise incursion on Israeli territory, killing many Israeli kibbutz residents living near the Gaza border and abducting more than 200 Israelis, including women, children and the elderly. Hamas described its attack as a response to Israeli authorities’ aggressive actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. Israel declared a total blockade of the Gaza Strip and launched bombardments of the enclave and some areas in Lebanon and Syria, as well as a ground operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Clashes are also taking place in the West Bank.
