Fresh Israeli airstrikes kill 14, injure 80 in Gaza

At least 14 Palestinians, including two children, have been killed and 80 others injured in a fresh spate of air attacks by the Israeli regime on the besieged Gaza Strip.

This comes as the Israeli army carried out more than forty air strikes on the blockaded enclave on Tuesday.

The latest reports say several residential buildings have been targeted in the attacks.

The Health Ministry in the besieged Palestinian territory has announced a state of emergency in all its medical facilities.

This is while Tel Aviv is also taking steps towards a ground incursion into the coastal sliver.

Dozens of heavily armored vehicles, including tanks and bulldozers, are lining up on the Gaza border, awaiting an order to act.

Israeli media now appear to be paving the way for the military to press ahead with its offensive codenamed “Operation Protective Edge”. According to Israeli news outlets, everything is ready for a ground assault.

The President of the Palestinian national unity government is calling for an end to the attacks on Gaza as fresh deadly strikes target the besieged territory.

Mahmoud Abbas has said in a statement that the international community should intervene to halt Israel’s dangerous escalation. He warned that the recent wave of violence could plunge the whole region into more destruction and instability.

The latest developments come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman have recently called for the reoccupation of the impoverish territory.

Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed due to the Israeli aggression over the past few years.

Gaza has been blockaded since June 2007, which is a situation that has caused a decline in the standard of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty.
