Local Editor

The "Israeli" aggression on seized Gaza has caused the martyr toll to rise to 258 early on Friday, after 19 people were martyred on Friday as "Israel" wages a major ground invasion on the 11th day.

The latest Palestinian martyrs were of two men from the Shami family at Khan Yunis in southern seized Gaza, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said.

The "Israeli" aggression raised the martyr toll number to 19 on Friday.

Earlier, four family members in Khan Yunis were martyred, with another two slain in the seized northern town Beit Hanoun.

"Israeli" fire also martyred five people in separate attacks on the seized southern city of Rafah, including a five-month-old baby.

"Israeli" tank fire also martyred three men east of Khan Yunis and another was martyred in Shejaiyeh, east of seized Gaza City, Qudra said.

In northern seized Gaza, "Israeli" tank shelling martyred two men not long after midnight in Beit Hanun, the spokesman said.

According to figures provided by the Gaza-based Palestinian Center for Human Rights, more than 80 percent of the victims have been civilians.

At least 1,920 Palestinians have also been wounded.

On Thursday night, "Israeli" tank fire in seized Gaza martyred three people.

The three were martyred in east seized Gaza, said emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra, who added that they were a four-year-old child, a 15-year-old, and a man aged 26.

Their martyrdom came after an "Israeli" strike that martyred three children in the Sabra neighborhood of central seized Gaza -- Jihad, Waseem and Fulla from the Shuheiber family.

Their martyrdom was the first to follow the end of a five-hour "humanitarian ceasefire" that "Israeli" had surrendered to on Thursday.

Another "Israeli" strike shortly afterwards in the southern city of Khan Yunis martyred four-year-old girl Rahaf al-Jubur, and a 29-year-old man, Hamza al-Abadleh.

And another child martyred of wounds sustained in an earlier "Israeli" strike in seized Gaza City, Qudra said.

1,690 people have been injured during the conflict, Qudra said.
