The death toll from more than two weeks of Israel’s relentless attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip has reached 805.
According to Palestinian authorities, a 26-year-old woman another aged 23, who was pregnant, were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the southern Gaza town of Deir-el-Balah on Friday.
Two other people, who were injured in an earlier attack in the city of Khan Yunis, also died of their injuries.
Israeli warplanes also destroyed the house of Salah Bardawil, a leader of Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, in the southern city.
Palestinian emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said around 100 Palestinians were killed on Thursday, making it one of the bloodiest days of the Israeli onslaught on Gaza.
NGOs say Palestinian civilians, including a large number of women and children, comprise around 80 percent of total casualties.
Three have been killed in Israel while Israeli military fatalities stand at 32 with one trooper missing, according to the regime. Hamas says the number is higher.
More than 130 soldiers have also reportedly been hospitalized.
Since July 8, Israeli warplanes have been pounding numerous sites in the Gaza Strip, demolishing houses and burying families in the rubble. Israeli tanks also began a ground offensive against the impoverished Palestinian land on July 17.
In response, Palestinian resistance fighters have continued to fire a barrage of rockets into the occupied Palestinian territories.
Many demonstrations have so far been held across the world in support of the Palestinians living in the blockaded strip.
At least one hundred Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip in one day.
According to local reports on Sunday, as many as 66 Palestinians were killed only in the Shujaiya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.
Medical authorities called the killings in the area a “massacre”, saying they have never seen such a level of violence before.
The Israeli regime forces also killed dozens of others in other areas in the besieged enclave on the same day.
According to figures provided by emergency services, the total number of people killed since the beginning of the Israeli operation on July 8 stands at 469. More than 3,000 people have also been injured in the attacks.
Sources say more than half of the victims are women and children.

The last several Israeli massacres of Arabs ended after 1300 victims were killed. I wonder if this current massacre will end after the count gets to 1300.
