The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has revealed that the martyrs' toll has grown to 12, with 20 more injured as a result of the occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip.

According to the ministry, ambulance crews are continuing to flee people from locations targeted by Israeli warplanes.

The Israeli army launched the "Defensive Arrow" military operation against the Gaza Strip at Al-Fajr today, assassinating three leaders of the Islamic Jihad Movement and bombing various localities in the Strip.
