Iran Press/ West Asia: Those killed include about 6,150 children and 4,000 women. Also, 207 health workers, 26 local civil defense members, and 70 journalists have been killed in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip.
Over 36,000 Palestinians have sustained wounds of varying severity, of whom 75% are children and women.
Tensions in the Middle East flared up again on October 7 when some 3,000 Hamas militants launched a surprise attack into occupied lands from the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian movement described its attack as a response to the aggressive actions of Israeli authorities against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. Israel declared a total siege of Gaza and started carrying out strikes on the Palestinian enclave, as well as on certain areas in Lebanon and Syria.
Clashes are also taking place in the West Bank.204
