ALBAWABA - Israel is conducting new violent airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, an Al Jazeera reporter said on Sunday.

The attacks come as the Gaza Health Ministry announced the killing of 127 more Palestinians in Gaza in the last 24 hours.

The Ministry reported that the death toll in the ongoing Israeli aggressive attacks on Gaza has risen to 27,365 since Oct. 7.

Moreover, at least 66,630 were injured.

On the other hand, the Israeli army announced the death of 225 Israeli soldiers during fighting in Gaza since the ground operation, which began on Oct. 27.

Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel

Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel, which is the biggest offensive in decades.

Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip, captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.

In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
