Ramallah: The death toll from Israeli occupation's aggression on Palestinian people in Gaza strip and West Bank rose to 1,128 martyrs and 5,489 wounded, according to a brief statement of the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The statement added that 1,100 Palestinians were martyred in Gaza strip and 5,339 persons wounded, while 28 Palestinians were martyred in the West Bank and 150 persons were injured, confirming that nearly 60% of injured in Gaza were from children and women.
This comes on the heels of the martyrdom of Palestinian citizens, while others were injured because of a series of Israeli raids that targeted several citizens homes in different areas of the Gaza strip.
Also, two kids were critically wounded when the Israeli occupation forces fired live rounds during confrontations with Palestinians in the town of Beit Fajjar in Bethlehem.
