Seven Palestinians killed, 10 injured by Israeli fire in Gaza Strip in past 24 hours, Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported Wednesday. Statistics supplement high toll in Gaza after the intensity of clashes largely waned due to a fragile cease-fire, but the deadly incidents had not ceased, Anadolu reported.

Seven Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes across Gaza on Tuesday. The Health Ministry has not yet disclosed details about the nature of each incident or the places they were concentrated.

Israeli forces carry out regular bombardments against Palestinian fighters and their positions in the strip, vowing to eliminate the Palestinian resistance groups responsible for retaliatory missile attacks into Israel.

Peace efforts have been underway to bolster the truce and progress in the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. The health ministry figures are not independently verified. However, according to health experts, the figures do not allow differentiation between civilian and combatant casualties.
