Death toll exceeds 1200: Hamas-backed attacks on media and power plants

The Dhaka Times Desk The death toll in Gaza has exceeded 1200. Meanwhile, Israeli forces attacked Hamas-supported media and power plants yesterday. 32 Palestinians were killed in the attack on Wednesday.

The attack on Palestine shows the level at which the world humanity has reached today. The powerful nations of the world are still supporting Israel. And in that context, Israel continues to attack one after the other in the Palestinian Gaza. At least 32 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack on Gaza this Wednesday morning. Among them, 20 people were killed by Israeli tank fire at the UN school.

Over 100 civilians have been killed in Gaza in the last 24 hours. Most of them are women and children. In total, more than 1200 Palestinians have been killed in the last 23 days of attacks. A large part of these victims are children. Apart from this, about 7 thousand people have been injured. Much of Gaza is now a wasteland.

In such a situation, Hamas, the armed organization of the Palestinian Liberation Movement, has expressed a tough stance on continuing the war. They have made it clear that they do not agree to a ceasefire. On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has already announced that he is ready for a long-term war. All in all, the war in Gaza does not seem to be settling easily.

On Wednesday, AFP and BBC Online reported that this barbaric attack, which began on July 8, has reached its 23rd day today. So far, 1,600 Palestinians have been killed in these attacks. 53 Israeli soldiers and three civilians were killed.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Israeli forces attacked at least 60 targets in Gaza, including the Hamas-run television and radio station, Gaza's only power plant, 3 mosques, 4 factories and government buildings.

On the other hand, as the Israeli inhumane attacks continue, the condemnation continues around the world. The powerful states of the world have been urged to come forward to stop attacks on civilian structures including women and children.
