The Palestinian Ministry of Health has said that a hundred Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the Israeli invasion of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip on July 6, 2006.

The report issued by the Department of General Ambulance and Emergency Services went on to say that hundreds of Palestinians, including 170 children have been injured and 375 Palestinians treated for shock during this period.

The report also confirmed that three Palestinians were killed and another 11 injured on Sunday morning during the recurring Israeli invasions of Beit Hanoun.

The report said that one of those injured on Sunday morning was Amal Jamal Abu Ourah who is seven months pregnant. She is showing signs of miscarrying her baby and is currently being hospitalized.

The report stressed that the Israeli forces are continuing to massacre Palestinians in Beit Hanoun and attack and destroy anything that moves. They pointed out that the Israeli occupation opened the Israeli gates that surround the northern Gaza Strip and lifted the huge cement blocks that they had placed in the east of Beit Hanoun. This made it possible for the Israeli military jeeps, bulldozers and other vehicles to enter deeper into the town and terrorise residents of the town. The Israeli forces are currently continuing to demolish Palestinian homes and infrastructure in the town.
