Eight Palestinians were martyred and others were injured in shelling by the Israeli occupation army, Tuesday evening, on Deir al-Balah, central Gaza Strip.
Medical sources in the Strip said in statements that the civil defense forces transferred at least eight martyrs, most of them women and children, who were killed in an Israeli shelling of a market in Deir al-Balah.
The toll of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, for more than ten months, has so far reached, according to incomplete statistics, 40,173 martyrs and 92,857 wounded, most of whom were women and children, while thousands of victims were still under the rubble.
