Gaza:
Gaza overall health officials mentioned on Tuesday they had no reports of Palestinians killed overnight in ongoing Israeli strikes on the enclave, the initially apparent reduction of casualties considering that fighting erupted on May 10.
The intensity of Palestinian rocket attacks on Israel also waned in between midnight and 1000 a.m. (0700 GMT), a Reuters witness mentioned. Israeli rocket alerts indicated the most current salvoes had been focussed on border communities rather than targets deeper inside Israel.
World powers are pushing for a Gaza truce.
The Israeli military’s chief spokesman, Brigadier-General Hidai Zilberman, mentioned it was continuing to operate in Gaza in accordance with a target list for the coming 24 hours.
“The IDF (Israel Defence Forces) is not talking about a ceasefire. We’re focussed on the firing,” he told Army Radio.
Gaza residents counted 60 Israeli strikes overnight.
Officials on each sides have previously mentioned that some Gaza casualties have been buried in collapsed buildings and bunkers, producing instant tallies complicated.
