Story by Oleen Ndori, Foreign Desk Editor
MORE than 22,000 Palestinians have died from Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip since the 7th of October last year.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza says at least 128 Palestinians have been killed and 261 others wounded in Israeli attacks, in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, another Israeli soldier was killed in fighting in northern Gaza, bringing the fatalities of Israeli military personnel to 174 since it launched ground operations in the enclave.
The Israeli military has continued air strikes on the strip, resulting in causalities in the Nuseirat and Jabalia refugee camps in central and Northern Gaza.
Meanwhile, Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri was killed Tuesday night in an Israeli drone strike in the Lebanese capital of Beirut.
The United Nations has described the assassination as extremely worrying.
