Hundreds of martyrs in Gaza and Qassam target Tel Aviv and thwart an attempt to recover an Israeli soldier. More than 300 Palestinians were killed in intensive Israeli raids targeting the Gaza Strip on Friday.

The Israeli army continued its intensive raids across the Strip, announcing that it had "struck 450 targets" in Gaza in land, air and sea operations. The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said that hospitals received during the past hours 313 martyrs and 558 injured, and explained that a large number of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads.
