The Palestinian Ministry of Health revealed today, Tuesday, that the number of victims from the Israeli occupation's shelling has risen to 3,000 martyrs, and more than 12,500 injured since the beginning of Operation "Al-Aqsa Flood".

Airborne cameras captured mass graves in Gaza for burying the victims of the continuous Israeli airstrikes on the enclave, and UN organizations complained about the lack of body bags for burying the dead in the Gaza Strip, in addition to the near depletion for organizations and workers.

The Israeli army bombed command centers, military infrastructure, and hiding places of the Palestinian Hamas movement in Al-Zeitoun, northern Rafah, Jabalia, and Khan Younis today, Tuesday.

It is noted that the Islamic Hamas movement confirmed the martyrdom of Ayman Nofal, one of the movement's leaders, due to the Israeli aggression's shelling in the center of the Gaza Strip, specifically in the "Al-Bureij" camp.

The Hamas movement stated in a statement: "The Al-Qassam Brigades mourns the martyr and Qassam leader, Ayman Nofal Abu Ahmad, a member of the General Military Council and the commander of the Central Brigade in the Al-Qassam Brigades," according to AFP.

For its part, the Israeli army announced that they intercepted a drone that approached Israeli airspace on the border with Lebanon in recent hours.
