The most prominent developments of the 18th day of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

On the 18th day of its comprehensive war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army continued to commit dozens of massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip, as its aircraft continued to bomb civilians relentlessly, and the Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip documented during the past hours 47 massacres that left 704 martyrs, which brings the total toll within two weeks to about 5800 martyrs, most of them children and women, in addition to more than 15 thousand injured.
