CAIRO, November 26. /TASS/. At least 14 Palestinains were killed in Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip in the past day, the enclave’s Health Ministry said.

Another 108 people suffered injuries. According to the ministry, "many of those injured in Israel’s shelling attacks and airstrikes remain trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings." Neither civil defense rescuers nor ambulance workers are capable of accessing them due to constant Israeli attacks.

The Health Ministry points out that a total of 44,249 people have been killed and 104,746 suffered injuries since the launch of Israel’s military operation in Gaza.

Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7, 2023, when militants from the Gaza Strip-based radical Palestinian movement Hamas staged a surprise attack on Israeli territory from Gaza, killing residents of Israeli border settlements and taking over 240 hostages, including women, children and the elderly. In response, Israel launched a military operation in the Palestinian enclave to destroy Hamas military and political wings and free all hostages. Hostilities in Gaza continue to this day.
