Gaza: The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip and the West Bank has surged to 974, with over 5,000 injured, the Palestinian Health Ministry announced on Wednesday.

According to a statement by the Health Ministry, 950 were martyred in Gaza Strip and more than 5,000 were injured in the ongoing violent airstrikes targeting the whole Strip since Saturday.

The occupied West Bank was not spared from the ongoing Israeli aggression against Gaza Strip for the fifth day in a row.

The number of martyrs climbed to 24, after two Palestinians were shot by the occupation forces in Ein Al Louza neighborhood in the town of Silwan as the occupation forces continue targeting the Palestinian people using live fire in various areas of the occupied West Bank, including the city of Jerusalem. Nearly 150 were injured. On Saturday, the Palestinian resistance launched the surprise 'Operation Al Aqsa Flood' on Gaza Envelop settlements in retaliation of the continuous Israeli violations against the Palestinian people.
