the human toll rises to 29 dead, including six children

In Gaza, the Israeli army continued its strikes during the night of Saturday August 6 to Sunday August 7, on the Palestinian enclave. The goal? The armed wing of Islamic Jihad, and its military leaders. The missile strikes have also caused many civilian casualties: around 30 Palestinians have been killed since Friday, including six children, according to the authorities in Gaza. During the night, a residential building was hit.

In Jabaliya (Gaza Strip), late in the evening, the hospital was the scene of scenes of despair, after the death of passers-by, including several children. “We were sitting in the street, and suddenly we saw an explosion. We ran, we took the children to the cars, because there was no ambulance”, says a man. The Israeli authorities deny any involvement and assure, with supporting images, that the victims were killed by a rocket fired from Gaza. For the first time since the beginning of the offensive, the response of Islamic Jihad targeted Jerusalem.
