The Ministry of Awqaf in the Gaza Strip said Wednesday that the Israeli Occupation raids completely destroyed three mosques, and partially damaged 40 mosques, as a result of their continuous aggression on the Strip.

The ministry added that 42 mosques were closed, due to the bombing by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in the vicinity of those mosques.

Wednesday morning, three Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip, after the bombing of residential buildings in Al-Shuhada Street in the central Gaza Strip, bringing the number of martyrs Wednesday to seven so far.

In addition, they raided the west of Nuseirat (central Gaza Strip), and left a number of casualties, while shelling continued in the Beit Lahiya area in the northern Gaza Strip.

The occupation warplanes carried out more than 50 raids in the southern Gaza Strip Tuesday, one of which caused the death of a woman and wounded five in Khan Yunis and Rafah (southern Gaza).
