The Palestinian death toll resulting from Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has surpassed 100, hours after a seven-day ceasefire between the two sides expired on Friday morning, reported Xinhua, quoting the Gaza-based Health Ministry.
Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qedra said in a press statement that "about 109 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed by the Israeli airstrikes in the Strip."
According to al-Qedra, two Palestinian journalists were among the victims.
Israel and Hamas agreed to a humanitarian truce on Nov. 24. Fighting between the two sides resumed on Friday morning, after Israel accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire agreement and firing at Israeli territory.
