"On Friday, the Israeli army continued its military operation in the Gaza Strip. According to a statement, over the past day, the aerial, ground, and naval forces struck over 100 targets belonging to Palestinian militant groups, including operational command centers and militant sites. 
In the north, the Israeli fighter jets continued to conduct strikes, targeting the military infrastructure of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah."

The Palestinian death toll from Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip rose to 22,600 since the onset of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, the Gaza-based Health Ministry said on Friday.

The UN estimates that 1.9 million people, or nearly 85 percent of Gaza's total population, have become displaced, including many displaced multiple times for safety.
