Palestinian medical teams have managed to pull more than 100 bodies from under the debris in the Gaza strip that has been under an Israeli military aggression now in its third week, taking advantage of a 12- hour pause in fighting that started Saturday morning.

The Palestinian resistance and the Israeli occupation forces announced that they agreed on a 12-hour humanitarian truce starting on Saturday from 00:08 am.

A Palestinian medical source told AFP that the bodies were pulled from under the rubble caused by Israeli shelling in several areas across the coastal strip, taking the death toll from the aggression in the Gaza strip to more than 1,000.

WAFA news agency quoted medical sources as saying that most of the bodies pulled were in al-Sheja’iyah neighborhood east of Gaza and the neighboring al-Zaitoun neighborhood, also in Beit Hanoun and Bait Lahya north of the Strip and from under the rubble in Khoza’a town east of Khan Younes.

The Israeli occupation continued Saturday its heinous crimes against the Palestinians in Gaza Strip, committing a gruesome massacre in Khan Yunus claiming the lives of 20 Palestinians, most of whom are children, women and elderly people.

The martyrs were killed in an airstrike that targeted a house in Khan Yunus with two missiles.
