Over 400 people killed in Gaza in one day

More than 400 Palestinians were killed in attacks by the Israeli army in various parts of the Gaza Strip since October 22.

The majority of the dead (70 per cent) were children, women and the elderly, according to the WAFA.

The death toll from Israeli attacks in the Palestinian exclave has risen to 4,700 since October 7, according to WAFA.

In addition, over the past 24 hours, the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has struck more than 320 targets in various areas of the Gaza Strip.

The strikes were carried out on terrorist infrastructure and military facilities.

Among the affected targets are named: tunnels in which militants of the terrorist organization Hamas were located, dozens of operational headquarters of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, military complexes, observation posts, militant groups, dozens of launchers and anti-tank positions.

Not only the Air Force operated at night: infantry and armoured units of the Givati brigade, with the support of the 215th artillery Brigade, destroyed several groups of terrorists, including anti-tank units, and attacked infrastructure facilities. At the same time, the official message does not directly say about the infantry entering the territory of the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, Israeli President Isaac Herzog told Sky News in an interview that instructions describing the process of producing chemical weapons and devices for spraying cyanide were found in one of the killed terrorists.

The terrorist who had this material on his "flash drive" was killed during the attack on Kibbutz Beeri.

According to Herzog, the instructions were compiled by Al-Qaeda and are included in the "official package of instructions" of the terrorist organization. The President noted that Israel is dealing with the three largest terrorist organizations Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State and Hamas.

He also said the infiltrated members of the Palestinian Hamas movement had instructions on how to manufacture chemical weapons with them.

"So shocking is the situation when we look at these instructions on how to make a kind of unprofessional chemical weapon with cyanide," he said.
