The Health Ministry informed in a statement that those attacks have so far killed 1,799 people and injured 6,388.

Meanwhile, the Israeli troops and settlers killed 46 Palestinians, 11 of them on Friday, and injured over 700 in the West Bank.

The military offensive started shortly after an attack by the Islamic Resistance Movement in which 1,300 citizens and foreigners were killed.

Israeli forces ordered one million Palestinians to leave their homes in the northern Gaza Strip early Friday, sparking panic and criticism after a week of bombardment in the enclave.
